40-yard dash times are pointless for OL! I don't understand why they even have them participate in it. If you're wanting to pick a OL bc he has a fast 40, you should favor a new sport.

This. Bruce Campbell was awful for the Raiders. They gave up on him after two seasons.

It points to mobility and explosiveness...comes in handy on some of these offensive "rollout" schemes. Also it is huge on pulling in front of a RB. When an OL has to pull to get outside on a lb'er or a corner, its the speed that counts, not necessarily his size.
