Madden 16, Regression

[Hassan Darkside]

I'd be curious about that as well. There isn't much data around in regards to 40 time after the combine.

Felix Jones, for instance, ran a 4.47 at the NFL combine and at the veteran's combine this spring, he ran a 4.76. That would be the equivalent of .0414/year for him.

My list would be Chris Johnson, Desean Jackson, Adrien Peterson, Jordy Nelson, Mike Vick, and Sam Shields.

Chris Johnson:
Official time: 4.24
2009: 4.26
2013: 4.31
2015: 4.31

DeSean Jackson:
Official time: 4.35
2015: 4.35

Adrian Peterson:
Official Time: 4.40
2013: 4.43
2015: 4.53

Jordy Nelson:
Official Time: 4.51
2015: 4.51

Michael Vick:
Official Time: 4.33
2007: 4.33
2010: 4.46
2015: 4.46

Sam Shields:
Official Time: 4.30
2015: 4.30

As you can see, some of the guys haven't been around long enough to show any decline. You need to pick guys that have been around longer.

Godgers12 beat me to giving you a list, but he picked some good players and I am satisfied with the results..

Maybe it would be interesting to compare brothers like Tiki and Ronde Barber? I would be curious, with these players having genetics similar between them, if this would show that a RB would slow down faster due to the more punishing nature of teh position compared to a DB?

Sure thing.

2012: 4.70
2013: 4.70

Tiki

Thanks...I must say I am surprised with Tiki's consistent 40 time.

Me too. No wonder why the guy thought he could still play after being retired for a few seasons.

I believe Kolbe said regression has been worked on, I'll try to confirm.
