For those in TE premium or 2TE, word from Redskin’s camp is Donald Parham making the most of his reps, and showing an early chemistry with Haskins. An uphill climb but may be worth throwing on the watchlist at least, just in case. Not like Washington is overflowing with dependable pass catchers.

That's a good nugget. One that I missed. I had a chance to take him but I passed on it. I probably should have payed attention to him a little more.

He went in the 16th round of my current startup. I can't find a good video at the moment of the side by side.

He hasn't looked like a legit receiver yet in the NFL. It's easy to take advantage of college players when you are fast as hell. It doesn't mean nearly as much in the pros.
It’s probably worth noting that Chris Johnson didn’t run a 4.24 either. The splits on Usain Bolt’s record 100 meter put him at around a 4.65 at the 40 meter mark. A meter is roughly 10% longer, so theoretically you can chop about 0.4 off and that would put Bolt between 4.2 & 4.25. That said, CJ2K was damn fast and even if you believe Ross was a tick slower, I don’t really get the relevance. How does the difference between being the fastest of all time and maybe top five fastest have any impact on actual football?

Bolt tan a 4.22 in sneakers. No reason to doubts Johnson's 4.24

Looks like he had to slow down near the end due to the lack of space after the finish line.

So you think Johnson could’ve been a World Class track athlete? Dude finished fourth in the 100 meter in his high school track meet for Florida State.

Sprinters don’t typically reach top speed until after 40+m fwiw. I assume that CJ2k is just a better starter and doesn’t have the top end speed.

I find it hard to believe that a guy who never really produced in college is going to walk in and be a WR1 with a rookie QB or Case Keenum.

Didn't say he'd be a WR1 this year. College production is a correlator of NFL success, but not a cause. McLaurin was extremely productive and efficient with the limited touches he got -- particularly once they replaced a RB with a QB to throw the ball.

OK, that's a little more plausible.

(a) You can't just convert a 40m split to a 40y split like that. Average speed over 40y would be slightly slower than 40m.
(b) Bolt doesn't reach top end speed until the 2nd half of the race...prior to that he's running more or less with the pack.
(c) You're forgetting that the clock in a 100m race starts with the gun, whereas 40 times start with the runner. BIG difference. Subtract probably 0.15 seconds from Bolt's splits (so if his 40y split was 4.20-4.25, then his actual 40 time would be more like 4.05-4.10).

Yeah and since 40 time is all football is about, I desperately need to know who wins this race so I can draft them 1.1 in a startup.

100 meters they get to start out of blocks, though, and are on a track with track shoes designed for optimal speed. I'm sure strategy in buildup is different, too though. Can't really compare. However I think Bolt just ran an unofficial 4.22 a few months ago in sneakers and jogging pants at the NFL studios. Also looks like he realized he had to slow up a tad right near the end because there wasn't a lot of room at the end of the track before he'd smash into studio equipment. LOL
