I would guess 4.1 - 4.3 range.
I'd guess it'd have to be a very high 4.1 if it's possible. But could you imagine a corner's pant color if he did that on a go route?Think Cleveland.
Wouldnt matter, hed get jammed and the speed in the world wouldnt matter. Despite overwhelming public sentiment, dangerous WRs run precise routes, have great hands, and have the short area quickness to quickly seperate themselves from defenders, or avoid them at the line. A guy who's only ability is to run a 4.1 isnt dangerous if he cant do these things.
Put him in motion.I agree with you though. Track Guys who haven't played football generally don't make good transitions to WR.
I definitely agree with your point, but my overall point was that speed is greatly overrated as a trait of a successful WR in the NFL. People see Randy Moss and Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison running free downfield and assume it must be because they are tremendously fast, while they ignore the Ty Calicos, Troy Williamsons and Alvis Whitted's of the NFL, guys who are tremendously fast, but are not skilled enough in their duties to be able to use that speed productively.
Orange pants?
. Now i know that sounds crazy but i wouldnt doubt that a world class sprinter could run close to that. But hey this is the Texans he might have a chance to see the field lol. Ok maybe not.Actually, he was timed in high school running a 4.09. This sounds ridiculous, but it is true. I think he runs a 4.19 now.
That's because he doesn't have a recent 40 time and they are just guessing based on his 9.7 100mThere is an acceleration period though which slows 40 times down.His 9.76 in the 100m (and 6.3 in the 60) probably equates to about a 4.1/.2That said, because I'd see him likely as a KR/PR and not a WR, that speed gives him enough momentum to make it very difficult to tackle.But it doesn't matter because I doubt a guy who hasn't played football in years could walk on to the pros and be of any fantasy relevance.In terms of how fast he can run i heard on ESPN somewhere that he runs about a 3.9 to 4 flat 40
I think KR, but PR not so much. The KR is all about straight line speed and using your blockers; PR is about shiftiness and juke moves, something that Gaitlin's track career doesn't have him doing.If he's serious about pursuing a football career, he should enroll in a 1-AA school and play football there for at least a season. The timing is unfortunate because he'll have to wait a year to do that, but to have played high school ball 6-7 years ago, run track exclusively, and then to try to get into the NFL now is a pretty tough assignment.

His 9.76 in the 100m (and 6.3 in the 60) probably equates to about a 4.1/.2
