Look at Garrett's scores.
He about 4.8 in 40, as was Teo at the combines.
I see Garrett's press and his stars, just like everyone else. Those ratings must be despite not having exceptional speed. As I recall, his overall SPARQ #'s are not in the top half at Opening, although that is top level competition.

3. Clifton Garrett, LB, Plainfield (Ill.) South – Though he is extremely physical, Garrett was a smooth glider in space, defended tight ends extremely well and can flip his hips with ease.

Don't give a shite if he runs a 10 second 40, he can hit like a freight train, and can cover with the best of him. If we look at strictly measurables Kevin minter didn't deserve to have an offer from LSU, thankfully coaches do more than look at measurables

Another dumbass who thinks 40 time is the end all be all to football.

How about Terrell Suggs dominating college and pro ball with his 4.84 forty speed. Or Jarvis Jones and his 4.92. Kevin Minter ran a 4.8 and he was the best linebacker in college football last year.

Once players put pads on their actual speed is shown. Plus you're forgetting to consider that improper technique can lead to bad 40 times even when the player is much faster. A lot of factors are more important that 40 speed. Hell the best wide receiver ever in football only ran a 4.7
