Sanu's official combine 40 time: 4.67 seconds

Jerry Rice's official combine 40 time: 4.67 seconds

Straight line speed is not as important as game speed and route running. This guy can play.

Besides when you watch him on tape he plays MUCH faster than that. I don't see him having any trouble getting separation on DBs or being caught from behind in the open field. I am inclined to call his "official 40 time" BS just like AJ Green's 4.51 is BS.

You really need to look at tape to judge the speed of these guys. Here's a great article on it:

I don't know if I ever saw Jerry Rice get caught from behind on an open field. I didn't realize he timed that slow at the combine

Sanu ran 4.41 at Rutgers' Pro Day

After watching his tape, I'd say that's more accurate. He's no Mike Wallace speed wise but he's no Housh either

Agree that any film clip you watch of this guy paints a more accurate picture.

He's got good speed and is very quick in his ability to move in the open field.

He appears to have good knowledge of the game and where to be.

I agree with the thoughts of him being a bigger, faster Housh.

This.

Plus, I know EVERYONE gets caught up in how fast a player is. Honestly, though, when you watch how many times does a WR catch a ball uncontested because of his speed? Now, don't get me wrong speed is important. What might be more important is catching the ball IN TRAFFIC. Being able to out muscle a defender both physically and athletically.

Sanu is going to win in a one on one matchup almost everytime. I don't give a s**t who's covering him.

Speed? How about quickness? In and out of cuts? Accurate routes? Accountability? Smarts? Toughness? f**k speed.

Sanu is going to change this offense. Book it. I love this pick.

Great article. This is the same mindset that says that a lineman who benches 35 times is always stronger than one who benches 30 times. If you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. If we're going to measure strength through an event, at least include squats. Either way, total body strength is dependent on several factors...same as speed. Game speed. Watch the tape!
