All I said was that he runs a 4.6 or close to it. Plus the best recruiting service in the business is the one who has him posted at 4.6. I think if you actually watch film on him then you will see that the number may not be so far fetched.

I don't think he was calling you out. You were only going by the information you got from the recruiting service. (I shouldn't speak for WG, though) The recruiting service is getting their information from him or his coach. If he doesn't camp, then it's the only way they could be getting it. And coaches are notoriously wrong. They fudge on 40 times, weight, and height. He is obviously faster than most people his size, but when you are talking about 40 times, .5 is a huge difference. My guess is he is running closer to a 4.8 or 4.9....and WG is right. That is a big difference. And don't be fooled by a YouTube video, either. Nobody knows who those guys are he is racing against, or how fast they are. I looked up his track record, and (What i found) it showed him doing the shot put...not any running events. If he had world class speed, he would be running in running events. Maybe he runs out of gas and can't run a 100? Possibly.

I checked combine times for DLinemen too. The DT's were all about where the Olinemen were, too. The only DLinemen with close times to 4.6 were 240 pound DE's.
