"Speed has very little to do with how fast your are running". That statement honestly makes no sense whatsoever and is quite funny to read.

"Most of that information can't be measured". What? That's exactly what they will be doing. They will be measuring the speed of the players throughout the entire play. What is this mystical immeasurable stuff you seem to think exists?

Bottom line is they can measure how fast you are during every point in the game, and you're kidding yourself if you don't think that's useful. They'll compare WR's initial acceleration, how fast they can cut in and out, and that "second gear" on long runs. They can also compare it to cornerback's stats, which could affect what the offense/defense try to do to get favorable match-ups.

Respectfully, it makes incredible sense if you understand even the basic nuances of the base parts of the game.

People use the phrase "game-speed" or "he really turns it on when the lights come on" the same way they use "heart" or "passion."

The term is birthed out of the fact that you seldom ever run 40 yards in a straight line. But what seperates playes-both literally and metaphorically on the field isnt some feel good term about their dedication. It's the mental aspect of the game superceding the physical.

Mechanics out of a break, intellectual understanding of what the offense is doing before the offensive player does it.

Speed has very little to do with how fast you're running.
