He clearly was affected by that slow forty time and struggled in his drills afterward as well. And there is the whole matter of how accurate the combine forty times are in general, but a 4.6 is slow for a corner. Now is he a Champ Bailey, Revis type? I don't know, but he should be a good CB and has good instincts for the position. Revis reportedly ran a 4.39 forty at this Pro Day (did not run in Indy), but again those results could have to do with a favorable environment. It will be interesting to see how Haden compares.

If they timed in Pads and he was slower then everyone else it would concern me more. At this point, I would be totally unconcerned about his speed, and very concerned about his work ethic and preparation. That is one thing the combine says loud and clear. It puts all these guys in an equal evaluation and shows teams how serious they are about being pro football players by showing how prepared they are for the various tests and drills.
