[QUOTE="mayo44, post: 496952"] The only way to compare players against each other is when they are timed using identical methods. That's why combine numbers have to be compared against combine numbers. And using that methodology, he was one of the slowest RBs at the combine. Hand timed runs outside of the combine can't be used to compare players because hand timing is too subjective. One timer's reaction time might be 2 tenths of a second slower than the next guy. At the combine, the same two people time each runner and there is a third time that is started by hand and stopped electronically. The mean of the three times is the official time for that run. It's a much more accurate way of comparing than using outside numbers. If it wasn't, they wouldn't bother doing it at all. [/QUOTE]
