Message: <blockquote data-quote="GoPGo" data-source="post: 554541" data-attributes="member: 9064">How can you possibly make such a claim?  You do realize that Jordy only ran his combine 40 yard dash 0.05 seconds faster than Adams, right?  We're talking about Adams finishing about 20 inches behind Jordy if they ran side-by-side.  That's about 1/3 of a stride.  Another thing is that we don't know how quickly both players bleed off speed further downfield.  Maybe Jordy starts to slow around the 40 yard mark and Adams maintains his speed beyond the 50 yard mark.  If so, then it would stand to reason that Adams had BETTER long speed than Nelson.  Of course, this is just speculation since we don't have that data, but it's also entirely possible.  So to make a blanket statement that Adams doesn't have the long speed of Nelson is pure conjecture.  And again, until they start timing the 40 yard dash from a normal WR stance with pads on, the whole thing is meaningless.  Jerry Rice ran away from a lot of DBs and he never clocked under a 4.6 in the 40 yard dash.  How  often do you see a WR run an unimpeded straight-line 40 yards off the line anyway?</blockquote>
