But it does give another area to be evaluated thus giving scouts a broader view of a player's skills.
The 40 yard dash is a good way to judge a players attributes? What were the 40 times of Jerry Rice and Tim Brown as compared to slugs like Alvis Whitted and James Jett. The 40 times is not a good attribute; the tape of this guys is the only things that is worthy of judging these guys.
