People that ask that type of question don't really want to know the answer.

I've seen some people post about their background over the years and the responses from people that don't agree with their opinions are one of two:

Credentials: Somewhere between just being a fan and actually being Bill Belichick.
Responses: The credentials are meaningless.

Credentials: The credentials are really significant and well above just an average fan/blogger.
Responses: You're lying. Those credential are fake.

Fair enough.

Ironically I also ran a 4.65 ... at well a lot smaller size than LVE.
40 time is nearly meaningless at LB tbh. So many massive busts were fast and drafted for that speed.
It is about being able to read plays and then having short area quickness side to side.
My ankles and hips have always been too tight:( LVE has no such issues.
And that length means he doesn't have to run stride for stride just get within arm's length.

FWIW Sean Lee was a 4.71 40 guy and essentially never gets beat to the edges.
He has elite play reading skills and beats the ball carrier to his own read. At least he does/did when healthy....

I've watched Sean Lee get beat to the edges and deep because he just lacked the speed to keep up. And that was before the bad hammies. Speed matters.

Jaylon getting beat deep by Pollard was about speed.

I agree that LVE's length is an added advantage he has that makes it harder for faster players to beat him over the top.
