Average 40 Time Based On Age & Position
Below we will be discussing the average 40 time based on your age and position. I hope this can help!
Also, if you are a QB or WR and would like to get a custom workout plan made for you, checkout the link below! You can send us film and I will give you an audio/video breakdown on your film with feedback on where you need to improve. Then based on that, we will construct a custom 8 week field & gym workout plan for you to follow!
So the two age brackets for each position group will be ages 13-15 (so 7th grade-9th grade) and then ages 16-18 (10th-12th grade). I don’t write this to discourage anybody, your 40 time is not as important as you think. This is just a good gauge to see where you are at and if you feel you can get faster or not. The 40 is so technical, a bad start can be the difference between a 4.6 and a 4.4- so don’t get so caught up in the exact number.
QBs: Ages 13-15: 5.5-5.0
Ages 16-18: 4.9 or below (not super important for QBs)
WRs/DBs: Ages 13-15: 5.3-4.8
Ages 16-18: 4.8 or below
RBs: Ages 13-15: 5.4- 4.9
Ages 16-18: 4.9 or below
LBs: Ages 13-15: 5.5-5.1
Ages 16-18: 5.1 or below
O-Line: Ages 13-15: 6.0-5.8 (doesn’t matter too much)
Ages 16-18:5.7- below (doesn’t matter too much)
D-Line: Ages13-15: 5.8-5.4
Ages 16-18: 5.4 or below- this can vary
