Given that track speed and field speed can sometimes be different things (and De'Anthony Thomas didn't have the best get off on one of his attempts), I guess this shouldn't be too shocking.
I remember scouting Tavon Austin last year, and when I played his highlights and DAT's highlights back to back I was expecting them to look about the same. Instead, Austin looked MUCH more explosive, I was stunned by that. When Austin ran unofficially in the 4.2s and then got an official 4.34, I figured DAT would be around 4.40 to 4.45, so this is disappointing, but not out of the question.
I also thought that Sankey's time (4.49) was mildly disappointing as well. Still good, but I would have guessed low to mid 4.4s for both of those guys.
The good news for Thomas is that Dexter McCluster ran a 4.53.
(Anyone know a good place for finding 2014 combine 10 yard split numbers?)
