Same as always, hand start and auto finish. Can’t judge CJ and Trindon to Demps who is in track shape.
There are two different electronic timing systems set up with gates at 10yd, 20yd, and 40yd line.
They are both started manually.
They are there only to provide the hand timers with something to compare their watches to.
The unofficial times you see reported on the television are hand times. The official times are usually an aggregate of the hand time and the laser; although this is inconsistent because it’s not always an accurate average of the two.
The laser times are not revealed to the public; however, I’ve seen them and they’re generally .10 slower than the unnoffical times.
Also important to note is that all the NFL personnel you see in the bleachers, on the 10, 20, and 40yd lines, have their own stop watch and data recording sheet.
As a result, while the NFL network publishes their version of the times on the TV and internet, each of the 32 teams has their own version of the time according to what their scout/coach recorded on their respective watch.
My suggestion to viewers is to accept the unofficial times as a reference point because those are hand times. If you want to form some sort of comparison to track sprinters then add the accepted differentials for human error and no reaction time and make the necessary conversions from the first 40yd segment of a 60 or 100m and you’ll get an idea of how these American footballers compare.
So those times mean nothing then. The difference in reaction from person to person and if they have a different person starting the clock could be huge. I’m guessing that the combine would lose some of its luster if they went to full FAT and times didn’t dip under 4.40.
It’s all about hype and making money.
CJ teammate Ford ran 4.27 unofficial.
Tebow unofficial 4.70
I clocked Ford at sub 4.3 on my watch as well.
Ford official 4.28.
CJ unofficial 4.28…
Did anybody see CJ’s 40? He started with his arm forward instead of backwards.
CJ has great post chain development.
If you don’t have the NFL netowrk can this be watched online?
Timing is a joke, cj official time is 4.37 second best rb time.
C.J spiller official time 4.37
Big VJ by Trindon:

anyone knows toby official time, no way he’s 4.5’s??
This shows you that these combine gurus aren’t that good, these guys are getting elite track guys and can’t get them to run 4.2’s and are making them slower. Would love to see what Charlie could do with CJ, Ford, or Trindon for 6-8 weeks combine prep.
4.19 lol. Its sad that MJ is a combine guru. His start was the worst.
The first thing Charlie would do is massage. All of these guys are so tight and they are killing their speed with tension and lack of technique.
I agree, esp tight hips. Best look pretty good running his 40.
MJ isn’t really running the total program.
