I've been looking him up and I'm getting some articles saying he ran a 4.38 while others are saying he ran a 4.57 and others are saying he ran a 4.59? Anyone have some insight?

Fast/Quick enough to play the slot.

If I remember right, one of the early articles confused his shuttle time with his 40 time and it got repeated bunch. So, I think he had a 4.38 shuttle and then a 4.57 or 4.59 40.

His athletic numbers are EXTREMELY poor. Maybe he was just having a bad day...

But his #’s compare to Jamison Crowder, who’s had a good career. Robert Woods as well, who is a top tier slot reciever.

If he turns out like Robert Woods that would be great; but his numbers suggest he's slow and unathletic....and doesnt really test as quick/burst
Definitely a slot only type of guy

You know who a 4.7 in the 40 at the combine? Jerry the GOAT WR Fucking Rice. Who fucking cares about 40 times? I want to see how a WR gets open. Does he have great strength, speed, technique, or a combo of all?
Some guys have great twitch where they can cut and not a lose an ounce of speed.

here's his Pro Day. Check the shuttle vid and how little traction the field has. Great for safety but bad for #s.
Imagine that shuttle time on a fast track.

You'll see the same thing here with Dyami Brown. Makes you wonder just how fast he really is. Steelers got a steal.

He doesn't look to be burner but he's a pure slot guy and has exactly what you're looking for at the position. Tough, good routes/finding gaps, great hands, quick twitch and able to navigate for YAC. Antmill has 2 of those.

ARII ran a 4.6 and gets open plenty because he is a very good route runner.
Newsome doesn’t have size but if his route running is as advertised as a twitchy athlete then he should be plenty fast to win in the slot.
He’s a 6th round rookie so I’m trying to temper my optimism but I like him as a between the 20’s option. Based on Pace’s success in these late rounds I wouldn’t be surprised if he competes for playing time right away.

The 10 yard split is in the top 4% so he's quick, the top end speed is around top 25%. He's not fast. I'll go on a limb and say a 6th round WR from NC, who's only slightly faster than a 30 lbs heavier David Montgomery is going to be a bust.

I like him because of need and how I think Antmil hurts the O. Hard to call an unsuccessful 6th round pick a bust since expectations should be low but I think he makes the roster and sees reps. Maybe Antmil figures it out this year. Being offered for trade without any interest should be sobering.

The 4.38 number is an error. His 40 time is 4.59.
Really tough to reconcile that mediocre 40 time with what you see on the field. There's a video on youtube of his pro day performance. He slipped on his 3 cone drill. So, maybe he wasn't getting good grip.
The only other explanation I could come up with is that he takes short choppy steps which is a bit unusual for a WR. This is slows him down a fraction of a second, but is allowing him to change directions a couple of times in a very short distance. It's impressive to see.

That is a lie that is often repeated, but to be fair--you are correct, his 40 wasnt that impressive-even back then

That is actually bottom 4%.
