That’s fair but I think the burden of proof would be on you when there are other recorded metrics that support the reported time. He’s the Auburn record holder in the 60 yard dash at 6.18 too, which scales down to a 4.12 40 if my math is correct.

So how did you scale that out of curiosity? I’m no math guy, but the logic doesn’t work out that he would be able to get up to speed fast enough to hit 4.12 or probably even a 4.22. Now once he got to speed I could see him maintaining it for a while.

All these guys that run low 4.2 and such are lean guys. Even Bolt at 6’5 is lean at 200ish lbs .

The average weight of a sprinter is like 175-180. So Bo Jackson at 6’1 220 is supposed to be close to them in any way? I just don’t see it. We’ve had Olympic sprinters or on the cusp of Olympic sprinters run the 40 and they can’t break the damn 4.2 mark.

Bo Jackson sub 4.2 vs Bigfoot. I’d believe in Bigfoot first.

I could entertain something in the 4.2’s but 4.4 plus? Not buying that. You have to remember, technique alone can get you a .1 advantage and he was an accomplished sprinter. Look at how much just training for the event for a few weeks has improved recent times vs. historical for players these days.

4.3 could definitely be a thing

Simple yards per second. I’m not saying it’s an exact science here but every recorded metric supports him being in that range vs. above 4.4. Stockier players hit full speed earlier and start decelerating earlier too. If you’re suggesting that it took 4.4 plus to hit 40 and then he hit 60 yards in less than 1.8 seconds… that’s just as freaky if not more.

He could have also been much leaner during track season and not in football shape as well

Let's say we don't go QB....I don't know if Alt will be there at 13....it's doubtful he will be....but I'm pretty sure we'll be going OT if we don't take a QB.

Adjust your Lil Telescope selections accordingly.

It could easily be CB as well. We need one of those too.

He can't throw the football worth a damn, I wouldn't expect.

Walked into that . . . should have been more specific re position players.

Lots of really good OL prospects in this class. I had Alt at #1 by a mile before the combine. I doubt he would get out of the top 8 or so.

Its as realistic a move as any if we dont go QB. CB or DT has some options too.
