From the previous thread:

The formula for the adjusted 40 score is (Weight * 200)/(40 Time^4). The multipliers are as such in the formula to ensure both accuracy as well as simplicity -- the scores that result revolve around a 100-point scale. The average adjusted 40 score of all running backs is 98.5; for all drafted running backs, it's 102.4; for all running backs selected in the first round, it's 112.1. Consider adjusted 40 score to be a sort of speed score -- a higher number is better.

* = chose to stick with combine numbers or no pro day numbers available

Once again, these numbers are somewhat correlated with success in the NFL, but is only a part of how a prospect should be evaluated. If I missed a RB or I have a * next to his name and he ran a better 40 at his pro day let me know and I will update my post.

i think combine would be more accurate. diff tracks at diff pro days.
