NFL Network will use “real time” this year; You will see the forty time during the event
Zybek Sports synchronized its technology with NFL Network, which, in a first, will be able to show 40-yard results in real time, according to the Sports Xchange.
“We’re going to show the clock on the screen,” NFL Media’s Alex Riethmiller confirmed to The Sports Xchange in a phone call.
This seemingly simple action could bring an end to decades of secrecy and years of confusion surrounding the combine’s 40-yard dashes, by far the most popular event despite disputes over its relevance in gauging a player’s football ability. But that’s another issue for another time.
