Haven't found anything other than some random radio dude from Colorado being the source...

Here's why a strong 40 time for an OL really matters:
1) You can't run a strong 40 without having an explosive start and the ability to get up to top speed relatively quickly
2) The ability for an OL to pull is critical in the run game ... and if you view some of the future of the running game what Oklahoma does, then pulling tackles is a look into the future
3) If you want a more passing forward offense, having OL that can get out and down the field blocking athletic LBs and DBs in the screen game (both RB and WR) is critical ... it's an area that we could experience significant improvement in from an execution standpoint

What's a "screen game"? Is that that thing where somebody catches the ball and gets immediately destroyed? Yeah, I think I recall seeing that a few times.

This Sawchuck guy has elite burst. Is he a 5 star?
Sometimes the other team scores a touchdown

Linemen with babyfaces are generally mean and nasty

If you predicate your offense on linemen sprinting 40 yards, you're doing it wrong, and shouldn't be coaching Pop Warner. Give me an OL's 10 yard time, vertical, or agility drill numbers. If you absolutely can't get those other numbers, the 40 is a relatively bad proxy for explosiveness and quickness that is strictly speaking better than nothing.
All else being equal, I guess a fast 40 time is kinda neat. But, I guess it would be neat to have an OL who excels in passing or receiving drills, too.
An O line that didn't leave the building at halftime would be cool

Nice try on the positive spin. Needs to get his weight back up.

There are many outliers that prove you don’t need a great 40 to be a great OL, but more athleticism is always good. It won’t mean shit if he is soft and can’t block or is too dumb to pick up blitzes and stunts, but he’s good and this shows he’s an exceptional athlete for an OL.
Not concerned about this at all. RR is going to be really good, but the spin given when “their recruits” don’t do well has always bothered me.
“I see 6 picks as a good thing. It shows he trusts his arm.”
“High School doesn’t matter.” Except when they do well, then I’ll get excited about I.
