2598117, so I guess Dalvin Cook has never tested like an elite athlete

his 40 time was actually one of his best drills. those short-area burst numbers are downright atrocious for his size (three-cone, shuttle, broad jump) and don't correlate with his on the field performance.
found out he was just as bad coming out of high school, though. numbers from a 2013 SPARQ testing camp:
5'11, 196 pounds
4.46 / 4.18 short shuttle / 110" broad jump / 30" vertical
for comparison's sake, Alabama defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson had the same broad jump at the combine, and he's 312 pounds. Nick Chubb was at the same SPARQ camp, and despite being similar in style and size (5'11, 217), his numbers were significantly better across the board.
weird. I guess you could argue it's a good thing, since it hasn't stopped him from playing the part in games -- which is the most important test.
