About Those 40 Times

By Scott Wolf on February 15, 2009 6:24 PM | | Comments (0) |

NFL analyst Mike Mayock makes a good point with those 40 times everyone will be focused on this week at the combine in Indianapolis. How many cornerbacks ever line up in a 3-point stance? If a player runs a 4.6, they could learn from a track coach how to run from the 3-point stance and lower their time to 4.48. Does that help for football?
It would be better to time a defensive back backpedaling if you really care about a clock measurement.
