lack of passing game

Never said he went to the combine for electronic timing head to head with Bo Jackson. Said he was timed at A L A B A M A foottball camp by a fat 6 fingered line coach with a mouth full of red man. The best part is that the same fat guy timed everyone else slower!

I get your point and I'm not disputing that Justin is fast. But I'd bet he will run in the 4.4 range if/when he goes to the NFL combine. I highly doubt he breaks into the 4.3 range electronically timed. Those guys are super rare. And, as pointed out above...NO ONE gets into the 4.2's. There have only been a few of those guys in history.

The last three wide receivers we sent to the combine ran sub 4.4 40's (I know they round to 4.4 not 4.3). There's a reason two of them were 1st rounders and the other a 2nd rounder.

Most of those guys have track training and know how to start which is half the battle.

I was cutting up with you. I agree with you concerning actual timing and have stated in previous posts that I have never timed a kid in sub 4.5 in hs even though I coached state champ in 100 meters. I say that I would like justins chances with Snoddy if he had been in the track program at GT for two years working on his starts when a younger Snoddy shows up at Tech. Snoddy ran 10.85 and finished 3rd his senior year of hs.

Demaryius Thomas didn't run at the combine. He had a broken foot.

That's right, I forgot. He was reportedly running electronic times between 4.36-4.38 leading up to the Combine. That's consistent with what he showed after he was healthy. My statement is still valid, you just have to look at it a little differently remembering he didn't run AT the Combine.
