Although Jordan Addison’s official 40-yard dash time was 4.49 a lot was made about his unofficial time of 4.55. His slower 40 time has dropped him down mock draft boards as people are now concerned about his speed at the NFL level. One person who is not concerned about Addison’s speed, though, is former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback and current scout Ike Taylor.
Taylor was present at the NFL Combine this past week as a scout for the team he played twelve years for. Yesterday, on the podcast he co-hosts, Bleav in Steelers, he spoke about his time scouting at the NFL Combine and discussed why Addison’s slow 40-yard dash time doesn’t concern him.
