Zack Wilson was selected second overall by the New York Jets in the 2021 NFL draft. This player is primarily a pocket passer but is able to move the ball on the ground as well.
Zack Wilson does not have an official forty time but has stated in an interview that he ran a high 4.5 second forty yard dash. Wilson was not able to get an official 40 time because the 2021 NFL combine was cancelled due to Coivd-19.
It is important to remember there can be a large difference between an official and unofficial forty times.
Official forty times are run at the combine and use laser timing to get the most accurate measurement of the drill. Unofficial forty-yard dashes typically include handheld stopwatches that are subject to human error.
Additionally, Zack Wilson was not able to run the 40 at his pro day because of an injured hamstring. This meant the only 40 times he recorded were done with his trainer leading up to the draft.
That all being said teams are able to evaluate Zack Wilson’s speed by watching his tape. Judging by the speed he moved at on the field these forty times seem relatively accurate.
Other 2020 prospects such as Jaylen Waddle, Devonta Smith, Trey Lance, and Kyle Pitts all were unable to record official 40-yard dash times due to the cancellation of the combine.
