It's my understanding that teams already have on file on-campus times that were recorded at junior days, or whatever. So every team already goes into the combine with some idea already how fast a guy is. The 40 time at the combine is only really notable if somebody runs noticeably faster or slower than you expected, and even those can be explained (one of two times was bad because you were sick, or you had a bad start, or whatever.)
We really need to demystify the 40 yard dash at the combine.
