Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I messed around with today: Kenneth Gainwell’s 40-yard dash time. I’m a huge Eagles fan, and I always like to check in on how our players stack up.
First, I pulled up Google. Just typed in “Kenneth Gainwell 40 time” to see what popped up. Gotta start somewhere, right?
I scrolled through a bunch of different websites, most of them were sports news sites or blogs. The issue I ran into was that information varied wildly. Some said one thing, others another. It wasn’t all consistent, which is pretty typical for this kind of thing.
My Findings
- I found some older reports, probably from his college days or combine prep, talking about a 4.4-ish time. That sounded about right, based on watching him play. He’s got that burst.
- I even saw something that said pro-day and official times can vary. A lot!
Hand-timed vs. electronic, different conditions, you name it. I totally get that.
So, after spending a good chunk of time digging, I didn’t really find one single, definitive answer. I figured, it’s not like they run a 40-yard dash every week.
I’m no expert but it seemed that Gainwell’s 40-time is probably somewhere in that low-to-mid 4.4 range, I feel pretty confident about that. I’ve watched enough football to know he’s fast. But I also know that these numbers can be all over the place.
In the end, I spent maybe an hour on this, mostly just out of curiosity. It was interesting to see the different numbers out there, but it also reminded me that you can’t always trust everything you read online.
