Darren McFadden's 4.33 40-yard dash at the NFL combine confirmed that the Arkansas star has speed to burn. What we don't know is what that number foretells for his professional career. Is it a sign that he'll have the speed to succeed at the next level, where everyone's faster, or does a player's 40 time have nothing to do with his future as an NFL star? Are there aspects of the combine that are overlooked or, alternately, should the whole event be ignored altogether when projecting success for Sundays? good read link to story.. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3337822
Exactly. I have stated before and will again. I think the combine is overrated and could be a fault for busts. The combine only shows you so much. Teams need to go look at film at the player and how he faired against top competition. Again, football is played in pads and defenders, not in under armor shorts and free air space.
