he wasnt particularly fast. 4.61 at 191 lbs will drop him, coupled with the legal troubles

Danny McCray made an NFL team.

Let that sink in, Mills is substantially better than MCray.

True - 4.61 wasn't ideal at all, but he ran 4.47.

The real test is game film. He started at DBU as a freshman and played against SEC WR's and held his own. Plus, playing safety deepens his knowledge of the game.

Some players play faster in pads with adrenaline and lights. Hell, Richard Sherman ran in low 4.6's which caused him to drop into 5th round

Jerry Rice ran a 4.71. Bill Walsh claimed he ran a 4.59

Bottom line- game speed on film is more important than tenths of a second running on a track.

jalen mills didn't do himself a lot of favors on film this year either. his game speed was def questionable. he's good the first 10 yards but consistently got burned deep. i mean there's a reason he's not been drafted yet. jerry rice also set records in college on the field. mills did not
