Kaleb Johnson.40 and 100 meter time?

Anyone know his times? I thought I saw 4.5 in the forty but he seems to pick up his speed as he kicks it into another gear after his bursts and then gets into the secondary… not that this is a huge ordeal as he’s FAST… 💨 not that matter what way you look at it. If he continues this pace I highly doubt he sticks around another season because of the shelf life of TB’s in the NFL. I hope he continues this terror on the field and somehow wants to come back (lol) I know right

I'm going to guess 4.45-4.50 range at the combine.

his reported time previously was a 4.51.

40 is somewhat overrated. KJ has a unique ability to run at an angle, away from the defenders, fast.

He had a gear that is rare.

The 10-yard split is actually more important

If you are running power I or pistol formation blast plays you want your running back to get out of the blocks fast. I the zone read and with zone blocking there is a timing there to let the blocks form openings. Kaleb seems to hit the LOS fast on quick hitters and yet do a little dancing to find a whole also.

Low 4.4s is my guess and his long speed is legit which will serve him well at the next level.

If he has one weakness it's probably his short area agility which given his size and body style isn't surprising.

Which I believe is average for an NFL running back. FWIW, IMO top end speed is important, but not as important as quickness, acceleration, vision, shiftiness, and power to break tackles. I'd estimate that 85+% of yards gained in the NFL running game happen within the first 10 yards where top end speed is not a factor, but everything else I mentioned is. Every long gain begins at the line of scrimmage.
