It’s that package of characteristics that is likely to put Aiken among the best receivers eligible for the 2003 NFL Draft. The main question raised by scouts is his speed. That’s because Aiken isn’t particularly fast, at least in the stopwatch-crazy world of the NFL. His 40-yard dash has been timed at 4.5, which isn’t plodding, but it’s also not blazing. As teams have learned in recent years, however, games aren’t won on a track, they’re won by making plays. And if Aiken continues to make plays at the same rate that he did during the first month of the season, when he averaged over 20 yards per catch and 109 yards per game, he’ll hear his name called early in the NFL Draft.
