I think that's the only time I ever ran a timed 40 yard dash. I wasn't fast enough to interest him at LB, so I put on some weight and concentrated on learning how to play OL.

Mine was actually 5.4 but I said 5.3 because I didn't want to be lumped in

Blame it on your OL coach who had a slow stopwatch button finger.

Mine was actually like 15-20+ but I said 4.3 or less because... Cougar Board.

They don't put you at cornerback if you run a 5.4 or slower...

Unless that is still faster than everyone else on the team.

Wind assisted or no?

3.9. But it was 40 inches, not yards.

You may want to specify the units for the time.

4.4. But only because I squealed the tires a little bit at the start.
