Russ Lande on Manti Te'o's poor 40-time: "I don’t think it hurts him. I mean, is it a bad 40-time for a superstar linebacker like a Ray Lewis or somebody like that? Yeah. But is it a bad 40-time compared to the bulk of starting linebackers in the NFL? No. And the guy I spoke to right after the workouts said, ‘You know, I came away feeling better about him today’. He said he looked athletic in the drills, he looked smooth and fluid in all of the pass coverage drills. He said, ‘I don’t have any concerns based on what I saw today that he’ll be able to do exactly what I thought he would based on the film evaluation at Notre Dame’."
