The thing i really don't like is they are gonna put all this stock into TWO times on one day. I guarantee you if you did this two weeks from now the times would all be very different.

I'm not a big fan of it either. If anything put them in football gear then let them run.

That pretty much sums it up, in game situations are much different than set up drills.

speed is important but too much emphasis is placed on the 40. players can train and prepare for it. how many guys have ran 4.4 or under then came to the league completely sucked

i have to disagree...speed is very important for EVERY position....just not 40 yards for lineman.

What 4-5 drills would you have them measure instead? You can't just go by game film when evaluating players, so we need some definitive measure where everyone is measured the same on the same day

Before I opened this thread, I could have sworn it was going to be heated debate on the importance of saves as a stat.

Agree with the "saves".

The number of wins a pitcher has is not that far behind.
