Welcome Tee Higgins
(04-25-2020, 12:54 PM)fredtoast Wrote: I have seen a lot of discussion about 40times in this thread.  My theory is that forty times are almost meaningless for WRs.  Forty time is dependent on how fast you get off the line, and since DBs either give a cushion or try to jam the WR at the line of scrimmage the benefits of a quick start are negated.

What really matters is "top speed".  You will see lots of taller WRs have somewhat slower forty times, but when they hit top speed the are running away from defenders.  

Drag race fans know what I am talking about.  Drag races have both an "elapsed time" which is loike the forty time, and they also have "trap speed" which is how fast the car is travelling at the finish line.  Just like with cars two WRs can cross the finish line of the forty yard dash in the same elapsed time but one is running a lot faster than the other.  Top speed is what you need to "take the top off the defense", not a low forty time based on a quick jump off the line.

De'andre Hopkins ran a 4.58 and he's been much better than John Ross.  I think there is a threshold you want to hit of at least 4.6, but regardless the position can be overcome by talent and work ethic.
