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
Especially considering his selling poking is being a traits pick.Williams's size-adjusted speed isn't bad, given that he's a gigantic 6'5" 276. Greg Ellis is a good comp.

Put it this way: if it isnt him, it really nreds to the highest DL on the board. Tommy Yarrish was talking about how well the interview went with him at the combine on yesterdays draft show.I think it's pretty much a done deal that he'd be the pick now. His floor is dlaw and ceiling is much higher. Unless one if the top top guys fall for whatever reason.
