He has speed issues.
==========================
Why would you write that? Because he’s white and you are ignorant?

Eric Weddle has a similar 40 yard dash time to the Jaguar’s two starting cornerbacks, an electronically timed 4.48. Rashean Mathis ran a 4.45 and Derek Cox ran a *hand timed* 4.42 at his pro day. Hand timed 40s almost always show the player to be faster than they really are, typically by 5-10 hundredths of a second. Ed Reed, who is known for his speedy interception returns and many consider to be the best safety in the NFL, ran a 4.57 at the combine, which is pretty standard for a safety.

The most impressive part of Eric Weddle’s speed is his 10 yard split time, which is much more relevant to football than 40 yard dash times. How often does a player run 40 yards in a straight line? Hardly ever. How often does a player accelerate from 0-10 yards? Several dozen times a game. Eric posted a 1.43 second 10 yard split time, which was tied for the fastest player to *ever be recorded at the combine* at the time (it has been beaten since by CJ2K, et al.)

Still want to claim one of the fastest players in the league has speed issues?

Better than what we have had the past few years!
