Does have one for physical measurements? There’s some pretty significant ones like arm length and hand size that are important gauges for certain positions.

What, are looking to direct a porno or something?  

Sorry man, couldn't resist. Yes, arm length is very important at positions like OL, and some defensive positions. Hand size is a plus in any football position.

Seems to be outdated

Rather "act" in one.

Yojimbo-to-do list

1.  rent space
2.  buy couch 

4.85 seems way too slow for any TE who is more than just a blocker.

But the fact is that these measurements are only a small part of player evaluation.  For example, on defense the ability to read and react quicker is much more important than a couple of tenths in the forty.  Speed is useless if you can't use it properly.  It is like having a 1000 horsepower engine in a car with little skinny tires and bad steering.

I too thought they were outdated, but my assumption is the minimal accepted measurement, not preferred.
