I don't know about that. In High School (Texas 5A)

we had a pretty good team with some D1 athletes. The fastest 2-3 guys ran a 4.6, hand-timed. The next fastest guys ran a 4.7/4.8.

I believe 5.0 40 would be slightly above-average speed for a 30+-year old.

Bear in mind that the skills used in sprinting wane quite a bit when not in use.

"You have zero chance of running the 40 in 4.9. Nothing personal, but you have

He might be able to. Is Linton an athlete?

He's skinny and not packing extra weight, so I think he can do it.

3/30/15 11:16am

also 4.9 isn't that fast for people who are somewhat athletic.

Not necessarily true. People think this all the time. Hand timed, maybe...

Are you sure about that...here is the data from the five-year NFL combine report

The combine 40s are laser-timed

reddead

3/30/15 2:35pm

unless he's hand-timed before and isn't taking the difference into account

"More accurate" but "results in slower times."

CosmoK

Well, the point is moot if they use stopwatches for Linton, isn't it?

reddead

Bull crap

True - they were all hand-timed, though

High schoolers and 40 times are like mormon dudes bragging about how many girls

Do you really think Linton's 40 will be laser-timed?

reddead

3/30/15 3:36pm

Good point, he could very well be clocked at 4.9

credfern84

3/31/15 4:57pm

Hand times mean absolutely nothing. Until they run it with a laser, a 40 time

Duke Silver

3/30/15 2:32pm

Exactly. End of story.

mncougar

3/30/15 3:50pm

You think they'll use a laser for Linton? He should manage a 4.9 on a stopwach

reddead

3/30/15 4:12pm

Did they specify if Spencer gets a running start?

Utah's radio guys run a 3.9 40.

Bronco also said that he could beat Spencer in a race. People need to pressure
