Here's an article on DeAngelo Williams' pro day where he turned in a time of 4.36 in the 40, and a 6.5 in the 60 yard shuttle.

Denton, with a 4.40 on his watch, was thrilled, but then other numbers started dominoeing back -- someone had a 4.36, someone else a 4.37 and the Packers scout had a 4.39.
"Bingo!" Denton said, giving a little pump of his fist.
When Williams' second run was hundredths slower, it was official -- Williams is heretofore known as a running back with 4.38 to 4.42 speed.
"The major question today coming into today was, 'Is he fast enough?'" Williams said. "A lot of them had me at 4.5 (before Friday). Hopefully I showed them today I am fast enough."
By the time Williams left the UofM's turf room for outside drills, Sexton and his crew had more reason for excitement. Williams's 6.5-second run in the 60-yard shuttle was the best scouts said they had timed all year, and Judd Granzow, the trainer at D1 Sports who has worked with Williams since January, was pointing out that Williams' first 10 yards in the 40 were .15 to .20 slower than usual.
Meaning, if not for the poor starts (which Williams blamed on uneasiness with the slippery track), Williams might have uncorked something spectacular.
