The other gentleman articulated it far better than I could. No worries, it's the internet. Misunderstandings happen.

This ^ You articulate it better than I ever could. Without deeper study, his agility measurements would be terrible for a DB. But that's just being ridiculous. Obviously a 300+ player isn't going to line up at DB, I'm being realistic here. McCalebb is slow for his size in the modern NFL. Guys...

Never said it did. We can debate all day about who's faster than who in a straight and whatnot, but there's more than just 40 yard dash times that goes into my analysis.

Size matters in the NFL in a big way. McCalebb doesn't have the size to be anything more than space back in the NFL, while Miller has a workhorse profile.

Metrics support that. Both Hester and Sproles are slow given their size, but have fantastic Agility Scores.

Onterio McCalebb and Lamar Miller ran the same time, 4.34. The difference is that Miller is 44 pounds heavier than McCalebb. In NFL terms, McCalebb really isn't that fast, given his size.

I'll put my money on Murray. They both in the same controlled environment, and Murray ran every segment of the drill faster. Not that it matters that much. Weight/size adjusted 40's > raw 40s. It's easy to say that a guy looks fast on tape, but I don't feel comfortable doing that, hence why I...

I actually put a million hours of work into that, so it's pretty lazy to call my analysis 'lazy.'

I prefer numbers over visual scouting, but that's just my preference. I respect how you've come to your conclusion, I just don't agree with it. It's part of scouting, but not all of it, we can agree on that. Devin Hester measured well, but would've been undraftable to me becased on his college...

Myself and many others would disagree with that statement very strongly. Your eyes are fallible and biased, advanced metrics can tell you so much if used correctly. EDIT: 'our' eyes is more correct

Thanks man! Not really. I looked at both. If he's so amazing on the field, why can't he replicate it when he's being measured? If you read the article, I noted that it was either that "the tape is lying to us, or he didn't prepare." Neither option is appealing. I think 5 is a solid ranking. Film...
