Both are still very fast for a guy that size. So, the rumors of his speed were accurate. He isn't one of those players who runs a disappointingly slow 40 time. That's ll I need to know. I don't really care about the exact number. I just need to know that he is fast and his 40 time at that workout, even if it is off a little, confirms that.

I also said trusting the numbers in general, not specifically with Stokes. We're going to get extremely tainted numbers for pretty much everyone because there isn't going to be any standardized numbers. People were saying Stokes ran that fast because there was a significant tail wind. In track meets they literally adjust the times at the meet if there is a tail wind.

You're telling me there won't be dozens of guys who run a tenth faster because there is a tail wind, the run isn't quiiiite 40 yards, the guy running the stopwatch is off by just a little, or whatever other reason? It's going to matter. I'm taking every number with a gigantic grain of salt this year.
