Donnie Avery is a gamer. He said he might not run due to injury, but still goes out an posted a 4.40. He then pulled up with a hammy.
He's faster than 4.40. It's too bad we didn't get a chance to see it today.
Honestly, I don't think his 40 hurts him that much. He looks fast. He just looks like he doesn't really know how to run the 40. Too many guys look like they've been training extensively on thier 40, looking more like track guys than football players.
Because Mario's 40 seems a little ackward, I think scouts will focus on tape and ignore the timed speed. Now, I think people will pay more attention to the rest of his workout, but if he looks good for the rest of the Combine, his 40 shouldn't be too damaging.
