Again, won’t discuss it on an open forum. Entirely inappropriate venue.
Charlie, that’s an understatement…
sitting amongst scouts at the finish line and times consistently range by at least 1 tenth of a second.
A very routine example for a 40yd time, recorded by 10 scouts, is as follows:
- 4.48
- 4.43
- 4.49
- 4.53
- 4.52
- 4.47
- 4.51
- 4.46
- 4.50
So that’s 10 versions of what one single 40yd attempt looked like.
So which one is correct?
Take your pick.
Welcome to NCAA/NFL football.
On that note, I received more information regarding all of the splits/times etcetera from the combine and I must make another addendum to my combine thread:
the official times (which are only relevant to those who follow the TV and internet, ergo not the GMs, coaches, or scouts) is actually an aggregate of the stop watch times and the electronic time.
Yes, it’s true, the ‘official’ times are basically an average of the hand held and laser times.
I just don’t get it.
