Core didn't run the 40 at his Pro Day. He ran the short shuttle in 4.34.

"The Rebels other receiver Cody Core looked exceptional. Shuttle times from Core included 6.78 seconds in the 3-cone and a 4.34-second short shuttle. I'm told he looked great in position drills, running crisp routes and catching everything thrown his way."
In any case, Ross was a full quarter of a second faster than Core on the same track using the same electronic timing. That's a huge difference. We need deep speed, and we need somebody other than AJ that can make game changing plays on offense. Saying we don't need Ross because we have Core would be akin to saying we don't need a replacement for Zeitler because we have Westerman.
