Yes...When you watch them play, do you really see chase being .1 faster than Smith?? Serious question.
He damn sure doesn't look slower....

You don't see a 4.4 player...fine, I could say the same thing about Smith.I'm not sure I trust those numbers.
Chase ran a 4.66 in HS. That's a really big jump to 4.40.
Smith ran a 4.49 in HS. We don't have a college time for him, but my guess is that he's similar to Jerry Jeudy who ran between a 4.40 - 4.46.
Waddle ran a 4.37 in HS and 4.27 in college.
I'm not sure it's credible to see that big of a jump from Chase. That feels like a case of LSU probably fudging on the numbers. And I don't see a 4.40 player in Chase on the field. So even if his timed number ends up better, I don't think he plays that fast.
^This whole thing has me confused because I think both examples are wrong...but you said it so confidently.In term of raw speed, there's no way Chase is faster than Smith, Jefferson or Waddle. Chase gets open because of his technique. Smith is blowing by CB's with raw speed. Not sure how you could watch these guys and say Chase has more raw speed than the others....and by .1 second...
No idea what you are talking about buddy, but yes, I do type with confidence.^This whole thing has me confused because I think both examples are wrong...but you said it so confidently.
That's the scary part...No idea what you are talking about buddy, but yes, I do type with confidence.

I would say Chase gets open b/c of strength and that Smith gets open b/c of technique.That's the scary part...
You are confident that Chase gets open because of technique as opposed to physicality and that Smith gets open because of raw speed as opposed to technique.
Nothing is impossible, but generally what you see is about that .1 improvement.It happens. DK Metcalf and Greedy Williams ran 4.7's coming out of HS.

I also think Chase wouldn't get manhandled by DBs like Smith would at the NFL level.I would say Chase gets open b/c of strength and that Smith gets open b/c of technique.
I'd have liked to see the combine this year more than almost any other....I also think Chase wouldn't get manhandled by DBs like Smith would at the NFL level.
