“Guys not happy with their time” is code for slow

Of course most of the ones satisfied don’t run again.

It’s a bit of a moot point because, as people have noted, there’s a brand new surface at the combine (so results 15 years ago are irrelevant today).

That being said.. you think Donte Jackson and Danielle Hunter are slow? Is Jamal Adams slow, or did he have a couple of bad reps at the combine?

There have been plenty of guys who ran slow at the combine and chose not to run the 40 again at LSU pro day. If you’re slow but still hit your best time at the combine it doesn’t make sense to run again. If you’re fast but you whiff at the combine, it does make sense. There’s an inherent selection bias in the data.
