The RB ran a 4.6 and the corners ran 4.3 & 4.4 at the combine. The explained that runners like Ross stride and explode like sprinters, but some runners stride with power and their speed builds.
That's why the RB pulled away, because he had a 60+ yard TD run, and had time for his power to create speed.

Lol. No. Those people are just idiots. Someone can have 4.3speed and be toasted by 4.6 when the 4.6 can maintain his speed for longer past the 40. Like asking a Usain to race an Olympic long distance runner in a half marathon.
