Just curious, what did Sampson run 40 in?

Sampson chose not to run the 40 at the combine!

No official word, but 4.46 to 4.49 range per 24/7:

Sampson did not run the 40 at the Combine to give himself extra time to train after his late-season hamstring injury, which limited him in the CFP loss at Ohio State in December. He did run on Tuesday, hitting the 4.46- to 4.49-second range on his two attempts, per sources.

The important question is what is he doing in the 4th Q against a top 10 team when the passing game isn't working? That's all NFL teams need to know.

Go ahead…..

If my memory is correct I believe he was a 4.3 guy when he was closer to 180 pounds. They had him trade off some speed for size, durability and longevity.

I promise you the NFL has zero regard for the CFP. If his size, speed, and running style match an offensive scheme, a team will draft him. He set the Tennessee single season record for rushing yards and touchdowns in the SEC. That matters more than ruining his playing career for an opening round playoff game.

Another possibility is that the 4.3 number was bogus, which is the case for the overwhelming majority of HS recruits.

Very possible but I do recall he was labeled as 'pretty fast' early in his years .. so could be 4.4 range guy that identifies as 4.3

Now there's this, so I have no idea what the real story is:

Huh? I never brought up the CFP where he only played a couple of snaps.

40 time is overrated for running backs
