[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 142781, member: 260"] I agree with you, but I believe there is way too much emphasis put on player's 40 time. link: [url]http://www.draftstock.com/site_main/content/view/185/26/[/url] Speed and athletic ability are very important, but even more important is how the player performs on the field. There are several cases of football players showing great ability in college who drop off because they don't have the right "measurables". If a player can get it done against some top college talent, then it's likely he'll become a good NFL player. On the flip-side is a player who was average in college but has great measurables. That player typically makes big moves up on draft boards during the offseason. These are the players to avoid IMO. They have the size, strength and speed but never put it together in college. There's a good chance they won't be able to do well in the NFL either. Jarrett is going to be a good WR in the NFL. His best attributes will likely be making the tough catches on jump balls. This can be very useful inside the 20 and when needing to convert a 1st down. The major negative to me isn't his 40 time, but rather his lapses in concentration. [/QUOTE]
