I am keeping an eye on Dont'e Thornton,he ran 4.3 and he measured at 6 feet 5 inches and only Golden was faster than him.you cant teach speed and size which we really lack on our offense
So he’s a 4.5+ guy…those times are always lower than reality.That's a little disappointing tbh
It does not equate to success, but it is a slice of the predictability pie.In 2025 and people still think 40 times equate to success. I want football players not track stars.
Williams's size-adjusted speed isn't bad, given that he's a gigantic 6'5" 276. Greg Ellis is a good comp. But his problem is that he's competing for a top pick against guys like James Pearce, who tested more like a DeMarcus Ware. It's hard to ignore that kind of top-end juice.A 4.7 wouldn’t really bother me given the fact he’s 260 lbs.
FWIW, Greg Ellis ran a 4.85 and still had a very productive career (84 sacks).
If a DE is running 40 yards to catch a QB, there are bigger problems going on.It does not equate to success, but it is a slice of the predictability pie.
Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams runs 4.76 40-yard dash at Pro Day.

no way anybody is taking him in the top 20.
His 10 yard split 1.59If a DE is running 40 yards to catch a QB, there are bigger problems going on.
The 10 yard split holds much more value.
Sounds good to meHis 10 yard split 1.59
If it's really a 1.59, then he's more than fine. DEs who break 1.60 are inordinately successful, and 270+ lb DEs breaking 1.60 are unheard of.His 10 yard split 1.59
