I'm with Shabamon.. Kid is a playmaker based on that video.  Very legit size too...

I think that 40 time is a little on the low side, he is probably faster.  If anything that shows the inflation in 40 times...  Check out these track times.

Sub-11 in the 100 is very very very fast.
We could have a multi-page debate on football vs. track speed.  If you're running sub 11, you have speed.  Period.  10.74 is insane.

Edit:
After further research, I think he ran the 4.76 in 2010, his freshman year.

"Zachary Yousey (Columbus, Ohio/Harvest Prep) capped the freshman combine with an Overall MVP winning performance. The 6-0, 162-pounder had a 9-4 broad jump, ran a 4.34 shuttle, 4.76 40, had good hands, nice moves and was always willing to make the big plays."

Maybe NFL is generous, but that footage shows a man among boys.

This kid has a write up on Rivals.com posted just a few days ago. He ran his 40 in 4.33 at OSU on June 10th (his best time). From that camp alone he walked away with 3 new offers, BG, OU, And Toledo. Last week he went to UW and Rivals reports that he belongs in the big 10.

He looks more like 4.33 than 4.76. That time didn't seem right.
