"USC safety Taylor Mays was clocked with an
unofficial 4.24-second 40-yard dash. If that number holds, it would tie Chris Johnson for the fastest 40 time in the combine since 2000, when official results were first recorded. There are no official results prior to 2000.
NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks heard one scout put Mays at 4.33, but even with that time Mays would become the second-fastest participant at this year’s combine. Clemson RB Jacoby Ford ran an official 4.28 40 on Sunday"
Let's not start throwing 4.2 (or 4.24 to be exact) around until it is real. I suspect the 4.33 was correct since his next run had him at 4.34ish.
Anyway, that spread tells me
probably no way he ran a 4.24.
Give me Thomas anyway.
