I can guarantee you the you can take off more than a tenth of a second. At the combine (if he runs) or at a pro day, I would bet money that he doesn't run faster than a 4.6 If you look at college times, they are ALWAYS faster than official NFL times. Guys are always stronger than NFL lifts, and they are usually taller and weigh more than their official NFL height and weight. (Did you know Nick Foles was 6'8" in college? ...but he's 6'6" in the NFL). Clowney is probably going to measure at 6'5", running at the fastest a 4.65 (Which is still really good, but he ain't a 4.5). Also, a few notable supermen that turned out to be somewhat normal. Percy Harvin was listed at running between the 4.29-4.35 range...and he ran a 4.4. Joe Haden was listed in the 4.3 - 4.4 range...and Ran a 4.5. Just sayin! Believe it or not...Coaches inflate their player's value. Shocker. That's just Urban Meyer being Urban Meyer. Check out the BS he puts up.

Believe it or not...Coaches inflate their player's value. Shocker. Yeah, you're right on there. If anyone's seen the movie "Blue Chips" (came out in the 90's) about the recruiting of college basketball players, they even have some of that in the movie. The movie had Shaq and Penny Hardaway as top recruits as well as another guy. When they all got to the part where they tour the school and go into the arena/gym area, they had the arena announcer call them out as if it were the start of a game. They called them "at 6-whatever" and all that. The guys went onto the floor and told the coach basically they weren't as tall as that and he said it was just how they did business. The stupid/funny (I guess) part of all of that was that FOLLOWING the movie, lotsa people who saw it from then on actually BELIEVED that those guys were that tall in real life. Guess those people missed the part where they inflated the measurements of the players, etc. By the way, not a very good movie. I wouldn't really recommend it.
