KD is obviously all butt hurt because they sent the problem child drama queen packing. Good riddance. Love Coleman’s attitude!

This kid is hard to dislike, he’s a character!

Sure but in the context of a the game a 40 yd sprint only tells a fraction of the story. It been proven repeatedly that slower wr using the 40 yd metric have had very successful careers.

Stop it’s not like any of the guys you mentioned were a lock. All had warts. The 40 yd time is a component of an evaluation not the entire picture.

They are now timing it, so quickness factors in this test. This dude was also a 3 sport athlete. He’ll be fine! Your’re so ridiculous with this nonsense. It’s funny how a slower 40 didn’t stop Puka from being an excellent wr. It’s also interesting how everyone was wondering why their fave team missed on him. I didn’t like AD with his issues, Franklin dropped like a rock and XW is the size he of a middle schooler. We did ok.

Lmao speed queens.. 😉the games not played on a straight line in gym shorts. Read the article above!

A lot of other factors come into play, running 40 yds in a straight line isn’t quite the same with gear on, running routes and tracking the ball. It’s just another athleticism metric. from a nbcsprts.com article in March. “Timing of players at the Scouting Combine isn’t just done with stopwatches. It’s also done with chips worn by every player, that tracking their speed during every drill. And last year, that player tracking data showed off the talents of Puka Nacua, a relatively unknown receiver out of BYU who went from fifth-round pick of the Rams to the most productive rookie receiver in NFL history. Nacua wasn’t great in the traditional tests of athleticism that the NFL has relied on for decades, recording a 4.57-second 40-yard dash. But the player tracking data showed he was the fastest receiver at last year’s Combine in running through the gauntlet drill, in which a receiver runs across the field and catches seven passes in rapid succession. According to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, Nacua reached the fastest speed of any wide receiver during last year’s gauntlet drill at 20.06 mph. That tipped teams off that Nacua plays faster than he runs, something that Nacua proved in his rookie year. This year, Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman was similar to Nacua: Coleman ran a disappointing 40 time of 4.61 seconds, but he reached the fastest speed in the gauntlet drill, topping out at 20.36 mph — even faster than Nacua last year. Coleman also reached the second-fastest speed of any wide receiver in his group while running a go route, reaching 21.71 mph. The player tracking data is new, and there’s not a long history of being able to study how well it correlates to NFL success. But it may prove that players who show elite speed during the on-field drills that more closely approximate what they do on a football field prove to be better players than the ones who run the fastest in a straight line for 40 yards. In hindsight, teams wish they had paid more attention to Nacua’s player tracking data than to his stopwatch time. Coleman will hope teams remember that during this year’s draft.” He’s not SLOW …. He has athleticism & speed in the context of the game.

When healthy…great!

Better not be DS.

I like Brennan Jackson better.

F KC picks up a nice TE and gets Hicks.

TJ Tampa fills a need…

Bullard, Hicks or maybe Franklin.

He’s a better pick vs AD who spells trouble with a cap T. I still think we could have worked a deal here, dropped a tad and still got him.

Not the speed that bothers me, this guy would have been available lower, we traded out of the 1st but stand pat here? Makes zero sense!
