This isn't the NTL. National Track League.

Putting 12 pounds of pads on the guys, put him on turf, maybe add some weather (cold, rain, snow) and line someone up against him that is looking to inflict some pain and lets see how fast he is.

This is to say the guy CAN even catch the ball while running. If you think it is easy to catch a ball throw 40 yards while running your *** off in pads with someone running next to you trying to get the ball or stop you from catching it, well you never played the game.

This is like putting a NASCAR in a off road race and expecting it to be just as fast.

I personally think when they do 40 times at the combine they should do them from the players stance, in pads, and on turf. Otherwise, it frequently does not equate well.
