Speed on D

Well, I have not jumped on that Madden bandwagon yet, but the game does look fun... LOL.

Something I would love to see, but know it will never happen, is some type of published test results for all current players, the way rookie players are measured at the combine and personal workouts for scouts. Take a guy like Deuce. We all know his 40 time is slower than what it was when he was a rookie, but what is it now? What type of 40 speed does David Patten have at this time? Now those are the type of things I would be very interested in. Wouldn't you all like to know what Jon Vilma, Randal Gay, Jason David, and the rest can run now? I know it really doesn't matter, you can either play football or you can't. But it would sure be interesting.

I've always wanted to see that myself. It's rare but sometimes a team will ask a veteran free agent to run a 40. I remember the Dolphins asked David Boston to run one and he ran like a 4.38. I wonder how much faster players get after they go to the league and start NFL training?
