What's Barbers 40yd dash time?

[thewireman]

I see a lot of the RB coming in this draft run between (4.2-4.5) 40 yard dash times. I wonder how Barber compairs to that.

4.49

Edit: Props to nors in that thread....Boley and Canty on his list of 5 players he wanted. Good call.

I think it was 4.56, but thats by memory not with info in hand.

On the field he seems to have a good burst the first 20 yards but just doesn't have any kind of long speed at all.

Wow I didn't think Barber ran a 4.4, he looks more like a 4.5-4.7 type runner

I don't think that was a legit time, he didn't run at the combine.

What about JJ 40 yr time?

Since Barber never ran at the combine I bet he is a high 4.5-4.7 40 yd runner

It's from his pro day.

It's from his pro day.

I have seen plenty of misinformation from pro-days and Marion Barber is not a 4.49 guy.(Oh, how I wish he was) Kiper put him down as estimated at 4.55. Maybe Minnesota has an unbelievable fast surface.

This was from his pro day workout
Agility tests: CAMPUS: 4.48 in the 40-yard dash...4.18 20-yard shuttle...11.56 60-yard shuttle...7.12 three-cone drill. COMBINE: Player chose to not participate in the running and shuttle drills at the Combines...40-inch vertical jump...10'7" broad jump...Bench pressed 225 pounds 20 times...31 -inch arm length...8 7/8-inch hands...16 Wonderlic score.

Barber actually runs the 40 in 6.8 seconds, but that is because he has to hurdle the bodies of the would be tacklers he pancakes.

Barber is not faster than Emmitt and I think Emmitt ran a 4.6

 

[Vintage]

As long as Barber doesn't run a 4.58, its ok

 

[tomson75]

Barber is not faster than Emmitt and I think Emmitt ran a 4.6

That's debatable.

Parcells once said that the OL had to block their guys twice, just so MB3 could get back to the line of scrimmage. I miss his one-liners...

 

[Hoofbite]

The real question is, How many mangled bodies does he leave in his wake?

 

[RW31]

Barber never ran the 40 at the combine. And Pro Day numbers are useless. From watching him play he's probably in the 4.65 range.

Oh and Julius Jones ran a 4.47 at the combine.

No way MBIII runs a 4.49, he's more like a high 4.6 guy much like Emmitt Smith but the G O A T never got caught from behind strangely...
