40 Time To Play D1 Football

Grant Caraway

Below I am going to discuss the 40 time needed to play D1 college football- I hope this can clear up some of the questions you have on the 40yd dash. 




ALSO, WE ARE TRAVELING TO 15 MORE STATES FOR QB/WR CAMPS! We are coming to San Francisco CA, Orlando FL, The DMV, Charlotte NC, New Orleans LA, Dallas TX, St. Louis MO, Honolulu HI, Boston MA, Cleveland OH, Austin TX, Seattle WA, Newark NJ, Denver CO, & Los Angeles CA….

Okay So there is honestly no correct answer to this question specifically. Your EXACT 40 time does not matter to a college coach because most of the time it is a self reported stat. We get so many DMs asking about 40 times and what you can do to improve it/what time you need to play in college. Now a college coach 100% cares about your speed but if you run a 40 with a handheld timer… a college coach knows that is probably not the most accurate thing. If your high school head coach times you and gives it to a college coach, the college coach knows it’s most likely not the most accurate thing in the world. Believe me I have seen it. If your time isn’t laser a college coach doesn’t care. If you can show game speed on your film- that is all they want to see. Anybody and I mean anybody can put in their Twitter bio that they run a 4.4 40. But the FILM DOESN'T LIE. And college coaches put a lot of emphasis on film. 



40 times to shoot for- as a way to measure not a way to get recruited. 




Skill Positions: 4.6 and below
