Auden Tate - Breakout Year with Burrow?

Some YouTube "expert" makes a vid comparing the two and they are suddenly equivalent players.

At his Pro Day, which is far less reliable than running at the Combine, as it's hand-timed only.
Nearly every player runs (much) faster at their Pro Day compared to Combine, and there's also typically a lot of inconsistency since multiple people are hand-timing.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]4.64 for Mike Williams on second 40-yard dash. Think my watch was fast on the first run, but times would average out at 4.57. [/url]#ClemsonProDay
