I'm surprised Fowler even ran at this event, considering his recent rehab with the broken foot.
His agent should have told him to wait and run the 40 later.

Healed or not when did you ever come to the reality that Fowler had 3.9 speed? If Fowler was not fully rehabbed and not in peak condition, he should have waited to run the 40 as Bornthrilla suggested unless he felt this was the only time he would be scouted. The NFL is putting increase value in QB 40 time, since they are seeing a high number of QBs with good scrambling abilities and offenses that call running plays for their QB. The scouts were concerned about Patrick Mahomes 40 time. Fortunately for him or maybe KC, he had other great attributes the NFL scouts liked. sports.yahoo.com/chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-jokes-022621482.html |

Fowler is the one who we need to wish good luck. I only wanted to express that QB 40s matter more these days to the NFL. |

Just asking because I don't know. Don't you have to be even faster as a QB in arena football, due to the shorter field and different rules? If so, he still needed to hold off "if time permitted" for when he could perform at his best. Maybe only convenient time for arena football tryouts? I just wish him the best. |

I just wish him the best. i'm not sure how relevant speed is for a qb in the arena league, not a lot of room for qb's to run. but my point was that i don't think he has the skills to play in the other pro leagues...

Horizontal and Lateral quickness is footwork that is used by the QB to escape or extend a play when it breaks down and or position himself to move Vertically down field . Fowler's 40 Vertical time is about par for the course for him . It's when you have that 4 second window of positioning his footwork and release that his Horizontal and Lateral mechanics come into play . Good example is Tom Brady or the Manning brothers players with limited straight line speed but excellent horizontal and lateral foot movement . |
