Understood... but its a good indicator of overall ability 

During the vast scouting process for the NFL draft, team decision-makers use the results as a measure of an athlete's true speed. These scouts want to see explosion, burst and speed—both in a short area (10 yards from a still start) and over a long distance (40 yards).

 

No not really.. Why would a scout cares if my Olinemen or Dlinemen can run a 4.5 40'?? Their job doesn't need them or want them to do that.. All I need from Dlinemen is short area quickness (3 cone 20 shuttle)for closing speed, Explosiveness off the snap (broad and vertical) and bench (strength).. Add in violent hands (hitting the bags) and bend around a corner.. Most scouts are happy if a Dlinemen can produce solid numbers in that...

[WOW!!]

Plain and simple.. I like athleticism and speed in my skill position players and big nasty mean motherfugers in the trenches...
