re: VT Claims Wilson runs a sub-4.3 40

Let me put this in perspective. At the 2009 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, Clemson's Jacoby Ford won the 60-meter dash and Trindon Holliday was the runner-up. At the 2009 Outdoor Championships, Holliday won with a time of 10.00 seconds (Ford pulled a hamstring) which was and still is the fastest time in history for an active football player at any level. At the 2010 NFL Combine, Ford had the fastest time of the whole event and Holliday had the second fastest. Ford's time: 4.28s. Holliday's time: 4.34s.

Wilson is a legit track star.

does he run anything other than the triple jump?

no it's not.....unless you're not counting wind-aided times.

Of course I'm not counting wind-aided times. Why would I? People that follow track don't recognize wind-aided times as something to brag about. That's why those times always have a "w" behind them.

shittiest 60m dash in history?

He ran 6.51s, a meet record and the third fastest sea-level time in BCAA history.

So what's Trindon's best 100 (non wind-aided) time?

who uses the 40 alone to evaluate football players?

10.00 seconds

those are both wind-aided

When did I say someone used it alone?

It's just really far down the list on things I would use. I'm more interested in watching film of them playing football. If a player plays in the SEC, for instance, I wouldn't even look at 40 time. The only time I think it's really useful is for FCS or DII prospects because they aren't playing against legit competition.

Example...I have no clue what Mo Claiborne runs in the 40, but if you told me he ran a 4.3 or a 4.55, I wouldn't give a shite because he obviously can play against big time athletes.

Joe Adams runs a 3.89.
