Saw this on reddit and didn't want to start it's own thread for it but somebody posted some of Sports Science's finding from their system.
Very interesting.
The top-end speed number for Dalvin Cook reminded me of this:

When asked which NFL receivers he patterns himself after, Kupp listed some likely names among current standouts -- Larry Fitzgerald, Antonio Brown and A.J. Green. However, because he's white, Kupp often draws comparisons to the likes of Wes Welker and Julian Edelman.
That's not an apt comparison, if for no other reason than Kupp is much larger than those two. He's also fleeter of foot, with Catapult Sports -- which is tracking Senior Bowl players this week using "wearable GPS technology" -- clocking him as the fastest player on the North team at a max running velocity of 20.7 mph.
It struck me as interesting because of his 40 time.
