One day people will realize that 100% of high school 40 times are innacurate.

More importantly, they are pretty irrelevant. It's not that often that you get a free, unimpeded 40 yard run in a game...

Not to mention that kid has gone on record as having said it's not a thing he's trained for at all... He doesn't run track for instance. Most of the kids with fast 40 times in HS also are running track and have a functional grasp on the technique required to time well in these events. Most expert athletic trainers will tell you you can shave an average of about .2-.3 seconds off of a 40 time with technique work - though this is of course variable based on how good the athlete's technique is to begin with. I'd be willing to bet that McIntosh has pretty poor form on his 40 yard dash... his film doesn't make him look like a pure burner, but he's plenty fast enough to pull away from quality athletes in South Florida.

I like DJ Williams a little better personally and hope we find a way to pull both... but McIntosh looks to be a quality add in the wake of losing Emery.
