Laser timed and hand timed are not the same thing. You also were not a d1 safety I presume either. A 4.62 could easily turn into a 4.5 with proper training.

Well, you were really fast. Depending on what sort of clock was used but for a guy that size, a laser timed 4.6 is about a 10.95-11.10 100m. I remember a big-time high school combine with a real electronic timer at the start and stop and amongst the dozen of future all-conference players in attendance only one guy broke 4.6, Percy Harvin with a 4.34.
Just for fun, here's every Husker safety's NFL combine results available.

I was laser timed in college and I was a SS that played a lot in the box hence my comment. Did not attend a D1 school tho. Guess I should have camped at Nebraska looks like they have taken a lot of slow guys over the years lol.

Ok...this is Alabama's list. They only have one safety that broke 4.5 in the past 25 years. Donovan Jones running a 4.65 as a high schooler before going into a strength & conditioning program is fast enough.

well now I know when my coaches called me slow they meant mentally. And when they said I wasn't very good they weren't joking.
