If he has to run a straight line 40 yard dash, I'm guessing he'd run it in 4.6. If he had to make a couple cuts to avoid a few players in that same 40 yard dash, he'd still run a 4.6. The guy makes fluid cuts without slowing down in the slightest.

4.54

and it becomes a problem for Keenan, GMs, ...

I'm going to change my prediction to

DNP

and it becomes a bigger concern for GMs et al.

+1....he never once ran away from a db....aka stretching the field. Damien Hughes would beat him.

Keenan just looks slow.

Remember this nice punt return? Ain't happening in the NFL with his lack of speed.

N/A

Doesnt matter anymore. Guy's not running at the Combine.

I predict a n/a

"N/A", or maybe even "0.00" wins, assuming that's true that he won't run at the Combine...

Sounds like he won't run at Cal's Pro Day either?

Maybe he runs right before the draft? Maybe he wants to control the running conditions to maximize his time?

Unless he convinces NFL people that he is at least CLOSE to being a legit 4.5 guy, I think this drops him out of the first round.

A poster above mentioned Jerry Rice, but Jerry Rice was a 4.5 guy in the 40 who had an amazing ability to be even faster, relative to other players, in uniform with a footbal in his hands, during a game.

Another poster (yours truly) mentioned Michael Crabtree, a pretty good comparison. I feel like MC, in college, seemed superior to KA in terms of physicality and making big plays, while KA has a slight edge in size and fluidity/elusiveness. MC went early-mid first round, but something tells me KA won't, unless he can show that he has 4.5 speed.

I wish him well.
