[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 606867"] From rotoworld.com: Driver: 4.45 Jennings: 4.42 Jones: 4.54 Nelson: 4.51 Cobb: 4.46 Boykin: 4.57 Adams: 4.51 Yeah, Jones was the slow guy among the recent starters, Boykin excepted, by a couple of ticks. He always struck me as being less than quick off the line but he had a very quick 2nd. and 3rd. gear that caught CBs by surprise. Nelson looks faster than 4.51 because he has a 5th. gear that does not show up in the 40 yd. times...long strider/long speed that accounts for him never getting caught from behind. If they ran 100 yd. dashes at the Combine, I think Nelson's number would surprise some people. Adams looks like a true 4.51 lacking Nelson's 5th. gear. Cobb looks like a true 4.46...he's very quick through the first 3 gears which you see on punt returns or when running to the edge out of the backfield. He's still quick in 4th., but tops out sooner than Nelson. Similar 40 times don't even necessarily get you the same type of runner among WRs. And that's just straight line speed. Then there's quickness out of breaks and double moves. Other recent speedier WRs who didn't crack the roster: Charles Johnson at 4.39 and Myles White at 4.42. I'm sure there were others that don't immediately come to mind. Johnson will probably be the #2 or #3 for Minnesota depending on who they draft; White is still with the Packers after being on PS last season. In fact, I would not rule out White in the competition for the #4 and #5 spots. Clowney was a 4.36 guy. He bounced around for 5+ years, often not on a roster, and ended his career with 22 catches.
