[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 783344"] That's a good one. Do we really need from me another disseration on quickness vs. 40 time vs. long speed? Of course not. Let's just say if Kumerow makes the roster (which is a strong possibility at this juncture) it will not be on the basis of a great 100 meter time (see Nelson). It will be on the basis of his quickness in the route that left the first guy grabbing air and then the quickness in the cutback that left #31 grabbing more air. That eye test quick twitch in a 6' 4 1/2" body is pretty unusual, borne out, to repeat, by his Pro Day shuttle and cone times. Anyway, after he switched the ball to his right arm and was back in full stride at the Pittsburgh 40, he did four glance-backs to see what was coming and if he needed to redirect. That's the way you do it, but those glance backs will take a tick or two out of the straight line speed. Here's an added bonus observation: Kumerow ran his Pro Day 40 at 4.54. #31 Nate Berhe ran a Pro Day 40 at 4.55 and couldn't close the gap. #46 Matthew Thomas, that "linebacker", ran a Pro Day 4.44 with some evident long speed. I looked to see if he ever ran the 100 meters in high school. Couldn't find anything but if he didn't maybe he should have. As a football player, not a track man, this is no Jeff Janis, fellas, and you sure wouldn't want him to be. The only question now, when you wrap it all up, is whether Kumerow is a better football player that any or all of the rookies. We're past the stage of athletic measurables and draft position since the eye test of what the guy is doing on the field is consistent with those numbers. [/QUOTE]
