That was three years ago, and Homer has an elite work ethic. My guess for NFL combine would be 4.38-4.43 range.

To put it in perspective, Jeff Thomas ran 4.37. In high school, Homer ran 4.48 (laser), 4.03 shuttle and 37.8 vertical jump. Fast guys often get faster in college (for example, Dorsett went from HS 4.43 to NFL 4.33). Homer is a really good tester.
