Devin Funchess' 40-Yard Dash Time - 4.70
This isn't going to help his draft stock...

Edit: Unofficial 4.7
MOD EDIT: I meant to come back to this and alter the title to show a hint of tact - LSA

I am shocked a guy who could not separate from Rutgers Northwestern and Maryland cornerbacks could not run a 4.5. Just shocked.

I want Funchess to become a top 5 NFL receiver/TE one day just so I can bump this thread again and laugh at all these salty haters.
If Funchess was our #1 without "effort" or attitude, WHAT THE HELL does that say about the rest of the receiving core?
What does that say about the coaching? It just builds on the criticism of not giving a fuck and thinking being Michigan is all that will get people to the promise land. Hoke created this atmosphere with his inept coaching staff. Blame them.
This cherry picking of Funchess is pathetic.
We got a thread about Frank Clark where posters are caping for him when he beat a chick, yet Funchess' transgressions are somehow unforgivable sacrilege...

OP is a jackass for this title. There is speed, and then there is football speed.
Jerry Rice ran a 4.7 at his combine.

It was reported as a 4.59 or 4.6 back then, but I suppose it makes sense that he's getting slower with age.

Unfortunately this confirms my belief that the team, under Hoke, got big, athletic, yet slow. Do we even have a deep threat WR at this point?

He was good but not great. He needed work still.
Could of went down as one of the greats

Definitely. At WR, I never saw it. He might have above average straight line speed, but at his size, he might have trouble getting off jams at the LOS and then regaining his top end speed. It's happening to Calvin Johnson now. Devin should've stayed at TE and been an average at best blocker. The coaching staff screwed this up just like converting our best backup QB to a WR, despite having an injury prone starting QB.

You're blaming the staff for that?
With the problems we've had with the offensive line the last two years we didn't have the luxury of using non-blocking tight ends, and I for one am damn glad Funchess didn't take playing time away from Jake Butt so we could get one more of the receivers on our bench onto the field.
When tackle was the relative strength of the line it made some sense to use Funchess as a nominal TE. Last year, when tackle was a relative weakness, it would have made no sense at all.

As far as I know, Tom Brady's job doesn't call for him to run past fleet-footed or massive defenders, jump or dive and catch footballs. Or to protect his quarterback...

Man I hate our fanbase. From the comments here, you'd think Funchess played for the Buckeyes. I hope he turns out to be an All Pro receiver. You guys are pathetic.

Julius Thomas ran a 4.68, for comparison's sake. That's probably Funchess' closest comparison at this point. It's certainly a deathknell for his first round stock, but he could still be a productive NFL player.
