Defensive Backs, its 40 time!

The combine has been going on since the 18th and 6Magazine will have an extensive wrap up and overview of the combine tomorrow. Right now, the defensive backs are working out live on NFL Network, so tune into that. 40 time is important but overrated for most positions as it cannot measure instincts and awareness.

The one position where a 40 time truly matters is for a defensive back. Other positions can hide behind schemes and techniques, but for a defensive back, he needs to have pure physical speed on the football field or he will not be in the NFL very long.

Here is a quick excerpt from the University of Florida's head track and field coach, Mike Holloway, courtesy of NFL Network.
