Why is so much emphasis placed on his 40 time? It's very rare in the NFL that a quarterback gets the chance to sprint 40 yards uncontested. With a guy like Vince Young, his agility is more important than his speed. Still, 4.5 is GREAT for a quarterback, and the guy can flat-out play football. He thrives under pressure and has an incredible arm. I see him having much success at the next level.
