I don't see the big deal. They will show in their dexterity, foot speed, bending ability, route running, etc., what they are capable of doing, so what the hell would be the benefit of putting them in pads?  |
What's the benefit of them running in shorts and T-shirts for 40 yards in a straight line? IMO, not much, yet these kids are absolutely scrutinzed for the difference between a 4.49 and a 4.50 forty.
Some of the other drills make perfect sense, but I've never understood the whole 40 thing. Do we need to know how fast he is....absolutely. Can you tell me the difference between a "4.4" and a "4.5" guy? Doubtful. And when will they run in a straight line for 40 yards?
But, that's the way its always been......
Just an amusing observation to me.
