It is break away sideline speed it measures and I would rather see 4.45. LOL no it doesnt. Well, maybe if the guy was breaking down the sideline naked. Running in gear and in the elements is completely different than standing there in complete control of your environment and running the 40 with nothing but spandex on. That is the only thing that the 40 measures, and since none of those situations ever exist in football, the 40 is completely irrelevant. But besides that, how much of a difference do you think a 4.45 and a 4.55, or even a 4.6 is? It is practically zero. It is a sliver of a difference, and it just so happened if the 4.5 guy farted, he would most likely pass the 4.4 guy. Bystanders truly believe that 4.4's and 4.6's are astronomical differences, and they aren't, and can barely be seen by the naked eye. Can you count a 10th of sec? In a straight race, a 10th of a sec slower is still making a easy tackle, a 4.6 is still tackling a 4.4, Now, in a game, when you see a guy absolutely burn past people, that is not a 4.4 vs a 4.6 or 4.8 or 4.9, that is a 4.4 running past a guy who is going 0.00, or even in the opposite direction. So, a guy getting past another guy has very little to do with top end speed. It has to do with several factors from the runner and several factors from the defender that have nothing to do with speed. That is why Jerry Rice was the best, he was a deceptive runner. His routes made you doubt yourself. All it took was that split second hesitation by a 4.3 CB and a clean route by a 4.7 wr, and he was gone and there was no catching him. 4.3 is no longer faster than a 4.7 when the WR got a 10-15 yard head start from the point of breaking his route and the cb hesitating. The 40 measures you and the opponent side by side running. That never happens in the game. So, to sum that up, you nor anyone else will be able to SEE the difference between a 4.45 running down a sideline or a 4.55 running down the sideline. They are both exceptionally fast. I do not know when you played but the gear is so freaking light these days it does not make much of a difference.

Irrelevant that's why they use it in the NFL combine,Dude get off this board and find something your good at because this is not for you.

Judging by our receivers last year and who's coming back, I'd say he definitely has a shot to play immediately. Receivers were almost as bad as the quarterbacking last year. So many drops Actually we have plenty of talent coming back at WR and Horton will make sure they get opportunities to get their catches. I do believe Michah Holder will emerge as #1. Add that the TEs will definitely be put out there in space (like the NE Patriots do) and you will see Richardson and Brunskill catching the ball 5 to 10 yards out and then we'll see what happens. I do hope Bob Toledo likes retirement. The time for innovation has come and we are going to appreciate how good Jeff Horton is.

does a 4-star receiver play immediately for the Aztecs? I mean, can a freshman be better than what we already have on the team with collegiate experience? That would be very rare, although WRs or RBs are the most likely. The other name is LB Kyahva Tezino 6-0, 225, Salesian HS, in LA. He has been hyped with Holmes as the "crown jewels" of this recruiting class.
