Not much difference.

But There is more to separation that 10 yard splits. It comes down to route running and making sharp cuts and finding wholes in the D. Not everything is about speed.

Difference between 4.33 and 4.47 is pretty substantial. That means that once he gets in the open field, probably nobody on the defense is going to catch him from behind. The 10-yard split is not that different from Sproles, but is a little bit faster. Also Cooks had the fastest short shuttle in combine history, which tells you that not only can he accelerate fast but he can change direction really fast too.

Can't wait to watch this kid play. He is going to be our next human highlight reel.
