Or we can take that hand time in the other direction and say he bulked up in the last year and conclude he's a legit 4.5 runner right now.
While choosing not to run even he doesn't pretend he's anywhere close to a 4.3 runner (he opted out of showing it but claims 4.37)
Point being numbers are fun when you just make em up.
He isn't bulked up at 188 and if you bulk up your upper body that doesn't slow you down. Legs may, yes. He is plenty fast-tape doesn't lie. Most players when they train for the combine or rerun at the pro day can easily shave off .1 seconds. Happens all the time. If you go back to the combine and to the pro day this hear you can see that and that is in only one month time. I really doubt he would fall to 4.5 (talking about Pettis alone). At worst 4.43. Plus who is to say in a private workout he didn't run 4.37 for the niners? If you think you would have heard about it or the news would. Nobody even heard about the niners were even interested in Mike for the ninth overall or that the Raiders were interested either in the OT.
I am glad he did not run at the combine/pr day-would have been out of touch for the niners. For him not opting run, turned out well. Lost money, but ended up in a pass offense. The rest is up to him.
All things are made up. Even a timed 40 when you think about it. How so, there is a difference with and without pads. Is he as fast on the field as off it? Speculating.
