Do you like to lie intentionally or are you this willfully ignorant? Justin Fields has never been listed at 6'4" by any official source. In fact, at his recent pro day, he was officially listed at 6'2 6/8" (i.e. a hair below 6'3"). https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2938860-justin-fields-44-second-40-yard-dash-highlights-standout-pro-day-performance Also there was no combine this year so we have no OFFICIAL times on how fast any of the players coming out truly are. Anyone who has followed the draft in the past knows pro day times tend to be faster than the official times at the combine. I would bet Justin Fields has more 4.5 speed than 4.4. With that said, a 6'3" 227 lbs QB who can run 4.5 in the 40 in quite the specimen. However, I don't rate players simply based on their measureables and athletic testing numbers. I also watch film to see how the athleticism translates onto the field. And I must say I have never been that impressed with Fields as an athlete. He definitely tests like an elite athlete but I haven't seen it translate quite to that level in the game. As a physical specimen, Justin Fields isn't in the same class as Trey Lance and Trevor Lawrence in his own draft class let alone someone like Josh Allen.

Rich7sena Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Am I the only one who thinks Fields isn't anywhere near a 4.4 athlete. I feel like 4.4 should be breakaway speed at the college level. I've seen him get hawked down in the open field pretty consistently. I'm also don't think his arm strength is that impressive when it comes to drive throws. Seems like his passes hang longer than they should on passes outside the numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking 4.44 pro day, likely 4.5 laser timed? I don't see that as a problem at all. From what I can tell, he goes about 42 yards here in about 5 seconds, I think (6:22 - 6/17)? Given he's not running a straight line, that's probably somewhat accurate and in line with his times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the only one, but I disagree. He's a 4.4ish athlete. He just doesn't have the explosive acceleration that some guys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's closer to 4.6/4.7, I watched his 40 and said no way thats 4.4 speed, his running stye wasn't even proper, he almost fell over lol.

KingOfNewYork Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 If it isn't an official laser time then it doesn't count. That's the slowest 4.4 I ever seen in my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtract 0.10 to 0.25 from every single Pro Day 40. I made an entire thread on why to do it, and how it works. Almost every prospect ran a 4.3 or 4.4 this year. If you think that’s a 4.44 speed he ran, you might misjudge speed on gametape a lot as well…. that was definitely a 4.56 at best.

I could not care less about your thread or baseless conjecture. Imagine the arrogance for you to show up and tell me I "misjudge speed" because I'm not going to just make up whatever number I "feel" is right. Hand-timed 40s are almost always a little faster, but within a draft class, it's relative anyways. So it isn't particularly important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not debating that Fields is a legit dual-threat. Just do not agree what so ever he is “4.4”. His gametape nor his 40 demonstrate that in any way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Justin Fields and RG3 aren't running the same 40 time. That's all I'm saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
