While USC safety Taylor Mays' 40-yard dash time became a source of discussion Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, the subject is coming into clearer focus. NFL Network's Mike Mayock spoke to representatives from six different teams that all had Mays running between 4.31 and 4.35 seconds and NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks, on the Lucas Oil Field where the event was taking place, also heard one scout put Mays at 4.33. It was originally reported that Mays had an unofficial time of 4.24 seconds on his first run and 4.34 seconds on his second run, but he was later credited with an official time of 4.43 seconds.

Yeah that to everything above. Unless the dude is competing in track and field, who gives a heck. It doesn't make him any better of a safety.
