Inflated 40 Yard Dash Times

It's funny to me how every 4 or 5 star position player comes out of high school supposedly running in the 4.3's or 4.4's and then they get to the combine after three to four years of college training and run significantly slower times. Our guys have really impressed in the running portion at the combine this year but there are a lot of guys who have apparently gotten slower since high school.

I know the electronic timing makes a huge difference compared to hand timing but it just goes to show that you can't believe what you hear about a guy's 40 time coming out of high school.

For example, Landon Collins was "lightning fast" coming out of high school, running a 4.3. He just clocked in at an unofficial 4.53. Theres nothing wrong with that time and he is very fast. Just something I see every year that I find interesting.
