Do I have to post that link which states exactly why high school athletes seem to record miracle 40 times and then go into combines and record much slower ones?

They won't go from 4.3 to 4.9.

So how is it that players are claiming 4.3s and then getting 4.6+ a few years of intensive training later?

The same reason that olympic athletes don't set a new record every year over and over again

Lots of factors are at at play when a person runs a very fast time.Just because a person ran a 4.5 in a 40 and goes home to train for four years does not mean he will make a better time his next try
if this was the case the same person would put up a new record every
time the olympics come around

But you'd hope that given a few attempts (which players are at the NFL combine) they could put up a time within 0.1 of the time they recorded before college.

overtraining .... muscles too tight .... plus they're older ...
