To put a 40 yard run in 4.2 seconds in perspective, a ball is hiked to the quarterback, the Quarterback waits about 1.5 seconds and throws the ball 40 yards down the field which takes about 1.5 seconds to get down the field and the receiver is already there to catch the pass. It is nearly a blink of an eye.

The thing about the NFL combine is that it can be deceptive and for some positions completely pointless. Especially with the 40 yard dash times. When they time them they aren’t in full pads and they are on a track. I can’t tell you how many times Ive seen a player drafted with a great 40 yard dash time and for some reason it doesn’t translate to actual NFL games. The Bears in the early 2000’s had this issue with wide receivers theyd pick because they’d have great times but their speed didn’t translate to the football field. It’s slowly becoming less important for incoming draft classes as a result.

Keep in mind most of these 40 times are completely insane for the average person. It's difficult to break 5 unless you're in great shape or practice everyday. Even then as you get older its not gonna happen for most people. Somebody who weighs as much as Garrett should NOT be able to run that fast and jump with that much explosion. He is a TRUE freak. Regarding Aaron Donald (the guy who was 'too small'), thats more to do with his height/weight. Hes about 6'1 which is fairly short for a defensive tackle. Because of that hes only like 280 lbs but they overlooked the fact that its all muscle and get off speed.

The NFL Combine takes place around the last weekend of February in Indianapolis. It's held so that athletes eligible for the NFL Draft in May can be seen by scouts & NFL coaches in person. The players are tested physically & mentally (the Wonderlic IQ test) and individually interviewed by coaches, team General managers etc. There is a time requirement on interviews too..15 minutes. Some people don't like one aspect of the combine, that is when the players strip down to their underware (knickers) and then called out on a stage and measured weight, height arm length & leg length right in front of team coaches & officials. Some have called it a modern "slave auction"....I'm not sure I agree with that. Also people jokingly refer to it as "The Underware Olympics". It has become a HUGE tv event on the NFL Network and pulls in millions of views. The NFL Network also interviews the athletes and has expert commentary.
