Darren Sproles is really fast...

Sproles ran a 4.49. I dont think there's much of a difference between a 4.49 and a 4.51 for those that consider 4.5 slow. Only 2 DB's ran a 4.4 at the combine this year. (Ladarius Webb, 4.46 and Vontae Davis, 4.49)

I do, when one is timed at the combine and one is hand-timed. Hand-timed, Percy Harvin runs in the 4.2s. At the combine, 4.41. Sproles ran a 4.48 at the combine.

I agree with what you're saying but I was not referring to two different types of timing. Hand timing means nothing to me anyway. I was just trying to point out that a faster 40 doesn't make a better player and that a 4.5 is definitely not slow. Heward-Bey does not look like a faster player than Harvin to me yet he has the fastest time for WR. Thanks for correcting me on Sproles time.

Yeah but I'm saying that White's REAL speed could be like a 4.6-4.7...I'll believe that he's as quick/fast (almost said fat) as Sproles when I see it.

I agree. Im not arguing White's speed. I dont know where 4.5 came from anyway. I havent seen anything reported on it but 4.6-4.7 can be productive at this level. Lets just not expect anything and hope it works out. LOL

Haha that's how it should be with a walk-on. I think people forget that.

I ran a 4.34 at Savannah St. After being out of football for more than a year, I run a 5.71...just kidding. 4.5 is fast I don't care what anyone says. Especially if you can use your agility to get through traffic like a Porsche

A lot of times some walk-ons won't be added to the roster until the season, or even later. The rules may be different now, but when I was at Michigan, we had a handful of walkons who joined the team in the spring, and weren't able to practice with the team until after the first game or two. Then, they practiced, dressed, and were added to the roster, but it never updated on MGoBlue.com. Now, most of these kids weren't guys with "highlight reels." Although, there was no YouTube in 1998.

Also, sometimes the team just isn't real quick to update the roster for walk-ons.
