a 4.47 hand timed 40 isn't all that impressive. he'll run a 4.55+ at the combine with that number. honestly, people just need to accept the fact he's gonna be a 4th round+ pick. he has a ton of question marks as to what position he'll play and he doesn't have the natural physical advantages to make up for it. add that to his off the field behavior, you have yourself a late round draft pick.

1+.
In addition, one has to ask the question--who was on the clock? That's where the objective laser clocked 40 comes in to play. Sure the 40 time is overrated, but it's ONE of the measurables the NFL looks at. It's possible for a hand timed 40 to be slower than a laser, but that's not usually the case. I want to see TM succeed, as well, but this 40 time doesn't really help him.
