And IIRC, the 20 yard shuttle time is considered more important for running backs than the straight line 40 time.Â
That site appears to "project" a 40 time, rather than report an actual measurement, though I cannot find that stated explicitly.
[and they do project some other RBs faster if you go to the ensuing pages]
I would also expect McCaffrey will break 4.50, but expect he will not break 4.40 (the time put forward by OF for McCaffrey to be a first round pick - or perhaps to guarantee he'd be a first round pick).
I also agree that the shuttle is more important, or at least ought to be.
