"Northern Iowa wide receiver Terrell Sinkfield ran such a fast 40-yard dash time Monday at the University of Minnesota Pro Day he was asked to run it again. Sinkfield's second attempt was clocked at 4.19 seconds, half a tenth faster than Chris Johnson's NFL Combine record of 4.24 seconds in 2008...Watching the 6-foot-1 receiver's

 we expected to see a lot of go routes and Sinkfield just running away from defenders, but the senior displayed a lot more polish than just a track runner. He adjusts well to many of the underthrown passes, fights for the ball and displayed elusiveness in the screen game."

Sorry Brian, whoever recorded his time, needs to replace that battery, or get a new unit, because that didn't look like 4.19 speed. He barely got any separation, not mention he was catching passes from a terrible QB. He'll make someone's practice squad, but i don't see him becoming a star in this league.

Track speed and football speed are two very different things. It's still possible that he ran the 4.19 despite not being able to get a lot of separation in a football game

Yeah, it didn't happen.

Fortunately, we don’t only have to rely on this one dubious stopwatch for Sinkfield’s 40 time. Scott Studwell, the Vikings’ director of college scouting, was also timing Sinkfield and told the Pioneer Press that Sinkfield is fast, but he didn’t break 4.3 seconds in any of his three 40-yard dash attempts.

“He ran in the high 4.3s. He can run. He ran fast. He tested well,” Studwell said.

Still, if the guy doesn't get drafted I'd certainly like the Colt's to get him as a UFA.  Most likely even with a 4.3 time he'll be drafted late though.

He comes from a long line of great players named Sinkfield....    (I just can't remember any of them right now.....)      

 

Hasn't there been a Sinkfield taken in the first round of the draft every year dating back to Lombardi?!?   I'm almost sure of that!

 

Good for the kid....   hope teams give him a second look....     but 4.19?      No.        

 

Put another way,  Bolt, the great sprinter from Jamaica?     He doesn't run 4.19!
