07:59 AM ET 03.21 | Pro days, on the heels of the NFL's combine, give talent evaluators another chance to look at the stopwatch. NFL scouts will almost always tell you the tape rules the day. But then you have cases every year that test their words. Jarvis Jones is likely to be one of those players. The pass rusher is expected to run his 40 yard dash somewhere in the 4.7 range at Georgia's pro day Thursday. That isn't exactly the type of 40 time NFL teams hope for in an elite pass rusher. But will it matter? Not according to one high ranking AFC exec. "We believe the tape is the best indicator of how a guy is going to play, and that guy was SEC defensive player of the year," he said. ... "I put more credence in the tape than the workouts, especially with a guy like him."
