Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 2692441, member: 2651"] I ran that search and found a r-i-v-a-l-s article from he self reported running a 4.4 as a sophomore. I hope you aren't pinning your hopes on that? His ESPN profile lists him as running a 4.55, which seems about right (and is probably best case, not game speed). For context, this year's NFL combine had exactly one player run a sub 4.4 40 - Nyheim Hines from NC State with a 4.38. Saquon Barkley ran a 4.4. Do you think Howard is as fast as Saquon Barkley? Guice, from LSU, ran a 4.49. Only 5 players total ran a sub 4.50. Those guys train for months to maximize every hundredth of a second at the combine. Let me be direct - it is literally impossible that Jarveon Howard runs a 4.4 40 yard dash. And you know what? That is 100% A-OK. He brings a lot to the table. He's just not one of the very, very few who run a 4.4 40 at 210+ pounds. [/QUOTE]
