Know what he ran? 4.48. Now, that surely doesn't prove he was capable of even beating that time of 4.37 at the combine even though he was healthy. Would you rather I average the two and give him a SPD of 88? That is most certainly possible if you like. Personally, I would be glad to take the 91 I gave him in contrast to taking an averaged time. Guys, I do not rate players based on "supposed" times. Hard data only. If he ran a 4.37 but is said to have run a 4.23, what do you think I am going to do? If I went by hearsay, then EVERYONE would be a 99 in EVERYTHING because scouts and agents inflate information. The fact is that all players are rated on the same scale by the same means. Also understand that a 91 SPD is BLAZING in the FBG system. Out of some 16000 players only roughly 400 have a speed of 90 or above. That is 2.5% of all players...a pretty small number.

Fine by me. Thanks for the verification.

LOL I thought you would take that 91! Like I said, 91 is awesome in this system for any rating, especially AGI. If your AGI rating is in the 90s, you are a beast on the field!

Haha yeah. I was just asking for verification. Just wondering, who is the fastest speed. I noticed Chris Johnson has a 98 in both speed and acceleration. Is there anyone faster?

Fastest are Jacoby Ford and Trindon Holliday both with 99s for their 4.22 and 4.21 40 times respectively.

Best ACC are Chris Reis and Earl Thomas. Reis had a 3.70 shuttle and Thomas a 1.39 10yard split.

I also just noticed Michael Vick was a 93/99 speed/acceleration.

Scouting data and hard data from in-game measurements. His speed has dropped (he used to be around a 96, but it's now around 93) but his explosiveness is still great.
