If Cam decides to run the 40, he's probably solely focused on that right now. Slim down and work with a sprint coach every single day. Sub 4.5 40 and he's a 3rd rounder. Would be a miracle if he can accomplish that, however.

forgotten with the first report of a blazing 40 time or record setting 3 cone shuttle
It's funny because the combine matters and also doesn't matter. It's best intention is to confirm testing numbers for players and then see if they match tape. If a WR runs a slow 40 at the combine but looked faster on tape, a team will use that info to double check what they saw. If a player is constantly breaking off big plays in college and then runs a fast time, teams confidence in that player's speed translating against higher competition will increase. A big guy running really fast matters more than a little guy running really fast. A pass rusher with poor technique will be viewed differently if he also tests poorly.

combine schmombine - i subscribe to real game time - there are no heart or dawg tests being conducted this week - maybe the 40? sure it's valuable information but I'll take two tenths of heart over two tenths a second everyday and particularly on sunday - the game of football entails several one on one battles all happening simultaneously - there's already tons of tape on everyone in battle and that's the information i'd consider more valuable

id even place the private interviews over the drills

I think it absolutely matters for position groups like EDGEs when it comes to the 3-cone lol
