Not to pick on you at all, but here's a beautiful example of how the 40 doesn't mean shit. I watched Revis play a lot; he was a complete blur running around the field. I don't recall him ever losing a foot race, and he was always the guy to catch someone from behind (the biggest play of Rutgers' season would have been a 90 yard TD if Revis didn't chase down Ray Rice, but his pursuit held it to only a 60 yard gain). All season long commentators were basically foaming at the mouth, speculating on how low his 40 would be. And when that happened, coupled with his cover skills, he would be a lock top 10 pick.
If for some reason he doesn't succeed in the NFL, it won't be because he's allegedly a step too slow.
