I wonder if they'll end up changing how the athletes run the 40 at the combine. With all the extra attention that the combine draws nowadays, I'd think they'd want that 'official' time and to avoid the embarassment of the NFL network's hand timing being so far off from the half-electronic timed version.

Why don't they just do it like everything else and have them start when told (by starting gun, green light, whatever) and time from that?

because that wont just judge speed, it would judge and time reactions... something the 40 doesnt incorporate... i personally wouldnt be against it.. but its not the same thing as the 40.

I guess I would just rather see it where the reaction time we'd have to be aware of would be the kid's alone and not the thumbs of the guys timing. Was awful waiting to see just how often and by what breadth the booth's unofficial time was from the half/electronics.FWIW - thought I'd include a reaction time test. Mine fluctuated up to a .10, but maybe the scouts are just better at it. Reaction Test

I was lucky to get under .2 on a couple, most of mine were in the .23-.27 range.

Will Spiller (and Best) be unpredictable Reggie Bush types that don't win fantasy football championships or will one of them develop into a special player like Chris Johnson? That's the question and the big risk with taking them at the top.
