John Ross ran a 4.2. How’s he “separated” in the NFL?
Straight-line speed for 40 yards doesn’t automatically equate to being able to separate.
Separation tends to happen in the first 5-15 yards. And technique/footwork also has a lot to do with it.
This is the NFL, not HS ball.

Yeah OP's like saying "Gesicki cant block riiiiiiiight... Just saw him make a 100 sit ups lmao!"
News Flash!!! Just because a player runs a fast forty time. Does Not and I repeat, Does Not, make him Magically have the skills to separate from an NFL DB.

Very true. Now, based on what you saw him do as a 19 year old in 2019, do you think that’s an issue for him at the NFL level?
Why?

TBH Pro Day 40 times tend to be up to a tenth of a second faster than official 40 times at the combine.
I'm not saying in any way that Chase isn't a good player. He was absolutely phenomenal in 2019. But he struggled with separation. He's a very strong, physically gifted reciever. But to say he gets separation because he runs a 4 38 forty yard dash is a false narrative. Getting separation in football is a very specific skillset and not all WR's have it. With that being said, I think Chase is going to have a very good pro career. If you want to see what separation looks like, watch Will Fuller.

No where do you see Chase on the football field with sub 4.4 speed. Doesn't; mean he isn't a great prospect and won't be a talent in the NFL but lets not let a 40 dictate what correlates as separation (especially a 40 time for a pro day). I would recommend watching DeVonta Smith if you're curious what true separation looks like despite whatever the clock says for the 40. This is not a knock against Chase and again he is an absolute elite skill position prospect.
