The reaction to Javonte Williams running a 4.58 40 is weird. I expected high 4.5s. Josh Jacobs ran 4.60, Alvin Kamara 4.56. This time is of no concern and changes nothing about the evaluation. #NFLDraft

Steve Keim is at the Miami Pro Day.
That's slow. Not at all what this offense is looking for

I don't think at North Carolina their players are running in a fast turf

Javonte Williams has better athletic testing numbers than Josh Jacobs for context.

Are good numbers, his 3 cone drill is below 7.00 and vertical and broad saying his very explosive

Being able to generate missed tackles is a necessity for running backs in order to take advantage of light defensive boxes. IMO, this is where I think Williams and Najee Harris both fit our scheme as they both seem to be able to do this. However, this does not mean other backs can't either.

You don’t think we could use a josh Jacob’s or Alvin Kamara?

Slow track?

Could be.
They should have everyone run on an actual track to eliminate disparities. No turf verse grass. Just have them run on a track. I realize football isn’t played on a track, but the idea is more to measure a speed comparison point than how they would actually run in a game (bc running from a sprinters position in a straight line without pads already eliminates any direct comparison of game type running).
I don’t understand with technology today why even pro days can’t have electronic timers.

That is the rarest of the rare. A 40 time that slow is a real issue. Only about 6% of RBs that slow have productive careers. Had he actually hit 4.6 it would be even worse.
The vast majority of long term productive RBs run a 4.4-4.5. That's a 3x likelier hit rate
Pro Days are optimal conditions for these players. They aren't going to cost themselves a ton of money to be on a "slow track"
