My youngest son wanted to play football in college. He played 6-man football in high school and could run the 40 in 3.9 seconds.

You have to mean 4.9 seconds. If he runs 3.9 and can prove it, every d1 school in the country will want him.

Here is an article about the runner up Heisman trophy winner Mantei Teo

"Manti Te’o improves time on 40-yard dash at pro day By Xai Xiong March 27, 2013 After running 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, Manti Te’O improved his time with 4.75 and 4.71 seconds at Notre Dame’s pro day. “I felt good. I’m at home now,” Te’o said. “I was very pleased with how I performed.” With the time that Te’O received in the NFL combine, many teams were suddenly afraid to draft him in the first round of the NFL draft.

All I can say is that that is what he got when he was tested in the 11th grade. He did not have the grades that a D1 school requires, nor the SAT scores. He went to a very small school that had a graduation number of eleven students. He also weighed only 160 at 6'1. So it appears that they do look at more than just what a player can run in the 40.

He used to tell the other players in high school that they would go faster if they really pumped their arms.

The fact that he got a spot on a D2 school was a great accomplishment for him.

He was really fun to watch though when he ran and played defense on the basketball court.
