Saw this posted over the weekend and found it interesting.

We’re about 2-3 years away from personnel departments not caring about 40 times. The game GPS data is going to replace it. Who cares what he ran in the 40, I know exactly how fast he ran in game conditions & I have 5 years of data for context.

but it is also hard to gauge how fast a person is on the field, but i agree it gives you another evaluation.. that is why Smith from Bama is considered fast on the field...
