i say that because once you hit that 4.80, there arent many guys that can play in the NFL.
there are handful of RBs that are 4.69ish guys
its not like we're talking 4.40 and a 4.54.
4.54 is fine for a RB. There's still a .14 difference, but its playable. 4.83 is not. It's worlds apart because it puts him out of that range that makes an NFL RB
If Jarvis Landry can do what he did as a rookie WR with 4.66/4.77 speed, it is possible for a RB to stick in the NFL for a few years with 4.83 speed. 40 times are more important for perimeter players than RBs. Now, what might hold Hilliard back is that he may not have enough agility/acceleration to make up for the lack of high end speed. But it is certainly possible to be agile and explosive and not be very fast.
Now look at Hill, Hill ran a 4.66, but he is explosive enough to have elite NFL talent. How can Hill be so good at 4.66 and yet you claim 4.83 is "not playable?"

WR's are different than RBs. You can throw a WR open. You can get open by running good routes. You can catch passes with body position and great hands.
for a RB, it's hard to do anything when you are slow and lack explosiveness.

4.66 and 4.83 is a huge difference.
Anyway, Jeremy Hill ran a 4.59 at 233lbs. AKA explosive.
If you can find 5 RBs in the NFL that run 4.83 i'll suck you off. shite try finding 3 or 1.
