Football is not a straight-line race of 40 yards. That is why 40-yard dashes don't matter that much. And in defense, knowing how to position yourself is a lot more important than straight-line speed. The fastest cornerback who consistently falls out of position isn't going to catch up in time to a crisp route that leaves him in the dust. Yes, speed does still matter. But a 40-yard dash number only tells so much and especially when it comes to HS recruiting...it tells us little.

Sometimes it is a straight line race, for example a DB covering a WR on a fly route, or a FS chasing down a RB to make a touchdown saving tackle. So yes a players 40 time absolutely matters. Now I will agree with you that 40 times have become over-rated and over-hyped due in large measure to espn. However, that's why all those other drills: cone, shuttle, broad and vertical jumps, etc are used by scouts in conjunction with the 40 to determine athletic ability.

I didn't know knowledge of football, and application of said knowledge, was gender specific. To answer your question: Yes I really am a woman.

Luckys 40 time, for instance, was taken at camps before he attended college. so you cant really blame the recruiting sites, if anyone is to blame it would be the people holding the stop watches at camps....

Don't they use laser systems now when tracking 40 times to get an accurate time?

 
Depends on when/where they time it. I know that at one point, all the high schoolers that attended Nebraska's summer camps were timed using electronic timing systems.
