Crockett is a promising prospect.  Great that there's a stud instate RB in this class.  RB will be a major priority this year.  Need a couple studs.

Crockett's #s are excellent.

Are they running in quicksand over there? Lot of pedestrian 40 times for rb, db, and wr's.

All those 15, 16, and 17 year olds should be running sub 4.3s like all the pros do huh?

As all things become more and more digitalized, including the measuring and conveying of weight, height, performance, and so on, the unrealistic/fraudulent results of days gone by are over. In the real world, 4.6-4.7 is a 40 time most good backs will average. Receivers will hover a little faster 4.4-4.6. But only the freaky few ever get below 4.4, and possession of that type of world class speed rarely translates into success on the football field. Of course, having that type of speed is an amazing advantage, and if a player such as our own Alex Collins ran a sub 4.5, he would be other worldly when coupled with his incredible cutting and vision.

Well said.  Players want to make their stats look as good as possible, and regarding height/weight, coaches don't really have a vested interest in letting the world know if a particular player is smaller than he'd like, or came in overweight, etc.
