Age and 40 more pounds will slow you down every time.Mingo and Adams run 4.5's in the 40. I wonder when they put on weight how much difference it makes in their 40 times.

Lavalais came in to LSU at like 290 as a freshman and after his first year lost like 20 lbs and played at 270 his sophmore year. He left as a Senior weighting around 290 again. So, it doesn't look like weight is really a factor.

Age doesn't make a difference from when you are 18 years old to when you are 21/22 years old. That isn't really a factor either.

On LSU's web site it says he ran a 4.8 in high school. But pro days and the combine are much more accurate then a high school time.

All i've seen on Adams is 4.76 and that was just a year ago. Mingo was at like a 4.55 in high school but has put on 25 lbs since he has been at LSU. I wonder too if it changed his speed at all.
