Mac Jones runs a 4.86 40

People do not get how freakishly fast these athletes are.  I played TE in college and ran a 4.8 (in 1923-5--during the Calvin Coolidge administration) and that was fast.  Now a pocket passing QB with little "athleticism" is running a 4.86. 

Must be the steroids in the Food Lion Chicken.

How often does a QB sprint in a football game?  How often does anyone really sprint?  WRs maybe?  That is about it.

Can you elaborate how bad it was? Was the ball to wobbly? The delivery? I'm just checking. 

His mechanics are fine. He just doesn’t have the oomph needed for those to be on the money. Both of these throws had the WR had to slow up or wait for the ball instead of being able to continue to run your route full speed and take off once you have it. 
 

You can watch these clips over and over and the only negative part of these plays is the throw. Mac Jones doesn’t lead either receiver. And I think it’s just a physical limitation with him.

Rating arm strength on a 1-10 scale with 5 being average, Mac Jones is like a 6.2.

Slightly above average but nothing to write home about.

I can’t get over the fact that he looks pudgy and out of shape. It not the end all be all, but it really bothers me.

and spare me the Brady comparisons, he’s a one in a million player

See?  I hope we have dispelled that myth.

    • After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...
    • My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
