The Volunteer post radio show Saturday evening when they were interviewing some of the players.
IDK . I know there is incentive for a player to state they are faster than they really are. I’m sure many of the high school 40 times are exaggerated, especially the Hurd time as we know now. Maybe you can answer this question, who on the current UT roster has the best verified 40 time?I'm only wondering as that's considerably faster than reported anywhere else I've seen. Just one example.
"Gray has a combine-verified time of 4.57 seconds, which gets zero FAKEs out of five. That's in line with the reports that his speed is good but short of elite."
Hello: Eric Gray | mgoblog

Figured as much he's NOT had the breakaway speed this season. TC is a quality back.Ty has been banged up much of this season.
As with many of the starters, he plays special teams. I think he twisted a knee or some such.
Obviously, he isn't really 100% which has reduced his quickness, speed, and reduced his carries.
Ty will be back in the running back mix next year.
Its also worth noting theres a technique to running the 40. Any misstep or false movement in any way will make your time a fraction slower. Gray may not have elite speed, but hes not far from it, in my opinion. He turned on the jets when he broke free on his 2 TD runs Saturday. Granted, one of them, the safety had either terrible effort or seriously misjudged Grays speed as Gray ran by him untouched.The difference in 4.39 and 4.47 isn't but an eyeblink
