It's also quite important to point out those times at the Combine, are run by athletes who have 3-5 years in a college strength and conditioning program, AND THEN pay private training companies to continue to reshape these kids bodies (look at what happened to Zaire and Dungey's bodies a couple years back after going through their combine training regiment).

I can guarantee you that a great number of these reported high school times are complete BS. Not all of them, but the majority. I would wager approximately 10% of the kids who supposedly run a 4.4 or 4.5 in high school actually can. Either that or most of the kids going pro, are actually not nearly as fast as an average 4 star HS recruit. I'll let you decide which situation is more likely.

That said, watching this guy on film, he is running down HS RBs from behind, blowing up HS OL and tracking across the field in zone coverage with WR's. I don't give a damn about his timed speed, and measured strength in shorts. I don't see that many LBs that we have recruited who have the different aspects on type that are that exciting. I'm certainly no expert whatsoever, but the things this kid does really excited me when I watched his highlights. That's worth a million times more than a supposed timed speed.
