Kendrick Rogers 4.51
Quartney Davis 4.54
Did not see Kendrick putting up a faster time that Quartney!
Hopefully, Jimbo can recruit WR that can run

How many of the top 10 NFL receivers are great because of their speed? Most are great because of their hands, route running, and body position.
What does a 4.54 vs 4.51 look like in real time? 1 or 2 steps faster?
Another even a step. About a quarter of a step. Of the top top ten WRs all time only Owens and Moss run sub 4.5. Moss ran like a 4.2 and Owens was probably high 4.3. Calvin Johnson ran a 4.38 and he fringe top 10. Rice 4.7 and he is the greatest WR and arguably greatest overall football ever. It's about feet, hips, technique, hands, understanding of game, and body control.NoahAg said:

That said, he washes out in a couple of years if drafted by a team like Tampa Bay.MyNameIsKyle said:so tropey. Rice was the greatest route runner in the history of football and amongst the hardest working, most discipline athletes of all time. Not to mention, he ran a mid 4.5 at his pro day, per scouting legend Gil Brandt.Meximan said:Emilio Fantastico said:
Yep, just look at the difference between our guys at WR running 4.5+ while Ruggs at Bama runs 4.28.
The talent gap is real.
Jerry Rice ran 4.7.
Seems strange that 2 thenths of a second over 40 yards can make that much of a difference, but I guess it can. Wouldn't the ability to run great routes, and have great hands make more of a difference?Emilio Fantastico said:

Routes and hands are more important. A guy like Ruggs allows the offense to open up because the defense has to respect that speed so the run game and other WRs open up.northeastag said:Seems strange that 2 thenths of a second over 40 yards can make that much of a difference, but I guess it can.

For a WR, Roger's numbers are good. His numbers are very close to (and in some cases, better than) Mike Evans performance. Consider Evans numbers:Quote:
