Error on ESPNEWS re: Mario Williams' 40 time?

BigDavis75 · March 5th, 2006, 05:06 PM

They had a viewer poll on ESPNEWS that asked, "which one of these speedsters would you most want on your team?" The poll answers were as follows (I am assuming you know what position and college corresponds with each player).

Vernon Davis (4.38)
Tye Hill (4.30)
Chad Jackson (4.32)
Mario Williams (4.43)

What I saw at the combine for Williams was a 4.66, am I wrong? I know he can't possibly be in the 4.4s but is he faster than 4.66?

His offical combine time was 4.66.

By comparison Julius Peppers had 2 times of 4.69 and 4.71.

Keep in mind though that Peppers was 10 lbs lighter then Williams when he ran his 40.

They are getting him confused with his teammate Manny Lawson, who is also a DE and freak of nature.

Everything is relative.

At 295 lbs, if you can run a 4.66, you're a blazer.
