The biggest smokescreen of the 2021 draft season had nothing to do with Mac Jones. It was Les Snead saying that the Rams don’t care about 40-times.
After choosing Tutu Atwell in round two, a receiver with legit low-4.3 speed, Snead has started his day three with one of the fastest big men in the draft, a cornerback who ran under a 4.4, and a tight end whose 4.39 is the third-fastest for a 6’5 receiver since 2000.
The fastest 6’5 receiver of all-time? Calvin Johnson. (Second-fastest: Tommy Streeter.) But Streeter didn’t jump 40.5” inches and post the fastest three-cone of the year at 6.
