I don’t care about Pro Day numbers. They are generally inaccurate. Allen Robinson ran a 4.60 at the combine.

Thomas ran a 4.57 at the combine.

On top of this, there are several guys who are top receivers that have barely broken 4.5. The difference between a 4.5 and a 4.4 is negligible, that I promise. You aren’t going to see a guy not be successful because he ran a 4.54 instead of a 4.48. There isn’t a threshold to be worried about, unless we are just talking about someone who is slow as molasses.
Jerry Rice ran a 4.7 40 time and no one could cover him until he was an old man.
