Of course in today's market a guy's 40 time may not translate well to the field. As soon as a player signs with an agent, the player is sent to a sports training for fitness facility to learn to run 40 times and do three cone shuffles and how to jump high and long.
My own son is a 10th grader in high school and I am sending him to just such a place all because I think it's the final piece to a D1 football scholarship. It's crazy, but there are 50 or so other high school football players in there with us.
Anything to get an advantage.

More power to you (best of luck!) and your son.
It's no different than taking a pre-SAT class, etc.
You're only enhancing the skilss that may be there....does it to translate to success down the line? Perhaps but it gets you in the game.
