Once again true....
My son is the fastest kid at American Fork HS, and one of the fastest in the state. He does not run a sub 4.5 his best 40 time ever was 4.53 and he is very fast. His 200 meter time is 22.76 which places him 5th in 6A and his best 100 meter time is 11.24 which would put him 7th in 6A if it was at a qualifying meet, his best at a qualifying meet is 11.31 which puts him 11th in 6A. His coach thinks he'll finish in the top 3 before the end of the season.

And I point that out to say he has never run a sub 4.5 and is one of only two kids on the AFHS football team this last year that even ran in the 4.5's the other one is Devin Downing the WR who has a BYU offer. Chase Roberts didn't run a 4.5, his best laser time is a 4.7, Puka Nacua didn't run a 4.5 either and those were the two best WR's in that state this last season. Those kids are on teams that played for the state championship in both 6A and 4A and their fastest kids aren't running under 4.5's so that shows you how rare that is.

And it is why I always look at anyone that say's they run a 4.5 with a lot of skepticism. The average 40 time for an NFL WR or DB is 4.55 so that means that approximately half of the WR's and DB's in the NFL run slower than a 4.55 and those are the two fastest positions on a football team. In fact if you look at the combine times there really aren't that many guys running sub 4.5's, it's a pretty rare thing.
