Gee, he's so 'slow' but manages to be on the scene at every tackle, practically. Maybe a more telling 40 time would be 5 forward, 5 back, 10 lateral, 5 forward, 5 back, 10 lateral. Who the hell on defense is running 40 yards straight forward? Only the guy that misread the play and is trying to run down a back/receiver. Maybe I'm crazy?
Come on man...even the biggest homers of homers can acknowledge it is important and that mark does not mean the greatest of things for Dante.
For reference, Peyton Manning ran a 4.8 40 compared to Dante’s 4.88. Let that sink in for a second.
It matters....Manti Teo ran a 4.82 and it showed in the NFL. Guy was a tackling machine in college. Consensus First Team All-American, Heisman Runner Up etc, but didn’t have the speed to play in the NFL.
Same deal with Dante. He’s a huge liability in coverage.....sorry man but facts are facts. The guy is super slow for the NFL.
