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.

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

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

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

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

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
