Added bonus Diontae is actually 5'10" 180 so we'll get a real world assessment of BY's size in camp. Settle the size mystery once and for all

Diontae and Bryce will make a great couple.

4.39 isn't blazing fast, man I am getting old. 

I only said that for sake of argument. A few players can hit that 4.2 mark now. 16 Men have run sub 4.3 during the Combine era.

1. WR Xavier Worthy: 4.21 seconds (2024)
2. WR John Ross III: 4.22 seconds (2017)
3. CB Kalon Barnes: 4.23 seconds (2022)
4. RB Chris Johnson: 4.24 seconds (2008)
T-5. RB Dri Archer: 4.26 seconds (2014)
T-5. CB Tariq Woolen: 4.26 seconds (2022)
T-5. CB DJ Turner II: 4.26 seconds (2023)
T-8. WR Marquise Goodwin 4.27 seconds (2010)
T-8. WR Henry Ruggs III: 4.27 seconds (2020)
T-10. WR Jacoby Ford: 4.28 seconds (2010)
T-10. WR J.J. Nelson: 4.28 seconds (2015)
T-10. CB Jalen Myrick: 4.28 seconds (2017)
T-10. WR Tyquan Thornton: 4.28 seconds (2022)
T-10. CB Nate Wiggins: 4.28 (2024)
T-15. S Zedrick Woods: 4.29 (2019)
T-15. CB Javelin Guidry: 4.29 (2020

Needless to say though---should be anyway---McConkey and speed are not a problem.

Any cap savings ?

It's pretty much a wash unless they extend him. Both guys were owed similar amounts but not sure if the dead money/bonus money differs much

This is a pretty slick trade tbh. He’s got #1 potential but I’d still draft a wr early. Not worried about any unhappy talk, there were a lot of unhappy Steelers last year all the way up to the head coach.

Yeah Antonio Brown ran close to a 4.5 as well, he had no trouble getting open before he lost it. 4.5ish is fine if you know what you're doing and are quick off the line and don't get pressed

[Krovvy]

If for whatever reason he doesn't work out, he's a UFA in 2025 which would be a positive in the compensation formula, possibly netting a third round pick.

However, I'm hopeful he can return to career highs and the Panthers can resign him.

lot of players have trained very hard for that 40 or are track kids.   It’s overblown to an extent.  Football speed matters more and they aren’t exactly the same things.  

I mean I follow the Clemson boys pretty well.  Lot of studs at WR there.  Fastest is random Jacoby Ford.  Just track speed.  Track kid.  Wasn’t a good WR vs all the others

I honestly haven’t given up on mingo so I kinda like the DJ, mingo, Thielen lineup. Def need depth and a TE tho

There is a new test they are having players have gps monitors on during route drills and gives them fastest playing speed data started just last year and rams good rookie wr had the best football speed during it

I remember the outright fascination with Jon Ross. He was a disappointment.

The blazing fast 40 time players are rarely the best football players. It's fools gold to lock in on the fastest players.

Then we have the top receivers last year:

Hill: 4.29 

Lamb: 4.5

St Brown: 4.61

Nacua: 4.57

Brown: 4.49

Moore: 4.42

Ayuk 4.5

Collins: Collins 4.4
