[QUOTE="thwgjacket, post: 48981, member: 165"] I never said they scout track meets. What I'm saying is that 40 times do matter. The only guys you ever here say "I have game speed" are guys that run slow 40 or 60 times and just can't accept they're not that fast. If you think NFL teams don't heavily weigh 40 times then IMO you're just wrong. If teams just looked at film then Heisman Trophy winners would always be picked in the 1st round. The late rounds of the draft are littered with guys who just have measurables like a great 40 time. Look at Jerick McKinnon from Southern, picked in the 3rd round and they have no idea what position he will play. Hell look at Stephen Hill. Almost no film on him and they took him in the 2nd in large part because of his 40 time at the combine. Chris Johnson's 40 time vaulted him into the 1st. The list goes on and on. To say that a 40 time carries no weight goes against what NFL scouts and GM's think. I think I'm going to have to go with guys who get paid to evaluate on this issue. [/QUOTE]
