Point is, he has elite ranking, but not elite measurables.
So for someone to be "elite" and deserving a 5 star rating you feel they should run a sub 4.7 at 230lbs?
He gets his elite ranking for a lot more than just measurables. Upside is taken into account. Football knowledge, scheme, tackling ability, etc. all play a factor.
I had a good friend that was a 4* LB out of high school and there wasn't much that I saw that I thought he was something all world that coaches would drool over. He played as a freshman at LSU and played all 4yrs with a stint in the NFL. I would say 85% of the reason for his success was how smart he was and how hard he worked. He couldn't catch for shite, wasnt the fastest guy or biggest guy on the field either.

Below,
Some succeed despite their measurables.
Manti Teo ran a 4.8 and contended for the Heismann.
In my view, FWIW, he could only do that at ND.
He would not have done as well in the SEC, either, contending with that speed.
Garrett's overall SPARQ scores were in the bottom half of those published at The Opening.
His non measurables, instinct, intelligence, work ethic, etc must be all off the charts put him at the very top.
Memphis seems to think they are.
I don't have anything on those data points.
