Rotoworld.com: Scrutiny coming for top prospects at Combine.
DD.comment: We aren't quite sure why Silva (and many others) insist that Gerhart and Dixon must run sub-4.6's to avoid being lumped in as blocking fullbacks at the next level. We usually have access to the "official" Combine numbers that the N.F.L. records each spring and can tell our readers the average running back at the Combine usually runs in the 4.6 range. Last year (2009), for example, the exact averages were 4.56/4.57 hand-timed 40's for the tailbacks. 4.62 was the average electronic time....The first running back selected in the 2009 draft, Knowshon Moreno, 40 times were as follows: Hand-timed 40's ranged from 4.50 to 4.59. Electronic 40 times were 4.62 & 4.68...Chris "Beanie" Wells hand-timed 40's ranged from 4.52 to 4.57, while his electronic times were 4.59 & 4.60. Shonn Greene, who had a strong rookie season for the New York Jets, proved a sub 4.6 is not a must: His hand-timed 40's ranged from 4.62 to 4.71. His electronic 40 times were 4.65 & 4.68....Also, Kahlil Bell and Gartrell Johnson did not run all that fast in Indy, but still got carries as N.F.L. tailbacks in 2009. Bell's ET 40's were 4.78 & 4.79, while Johnson's official ET's were 4.81 & 4.86.
