40 yd dash = 4.39 first attempt
4.38 second attempt
Being that it is a Pro Day, it should be noted that they are on a fast track.
However, as a point of reference: Brian Hartline, Brian Robiskie, & Malcolm Jenkins were ALL in the 4.49 to 4.54 range.
I'm going to venture to say that Beanie's 40 time might be somewhere between his pro day and his combine times.......maybe a 4.5 flat. You watch his game film and he certainly plays a hell of a lot faster than 4.55, since he continually ran away from DB's on numerous long runs in games (including the secondary of LSU in the 2007 National Title game).
Not using his 40 as a point to validate his talent, but honestly Ive watched a lot of both Beanie and Knowshon. It is absolutely ludacris to me that ANYONE thinks Moreno is better than Beanie. Moreno is a GREAT back, but Beanie absolutely defined the term "Dominant" in every single way. Beanie played at a high level against all competition (you can make a point that he played at a higher level in bigger games) and he played on an offense that was one dimensional and centered around his talent (not to mention his O-line had a really sub-par year in 2008). I wouldn't falt a team for picking Moreno over Beanie due to there being injury concerns, but to say that Moreno is actually a better back is just plain crazy to me. I guarantee that if Beanie stays healthy he will be a perenial pro bowler and one of the true gems of this draft.
