**How to decrease my 5.5 speeds in a 40 yard dash?**?

I am 6.2 tall 247 lbs big as a power defensive end and tackle in college. Also, I want to play tight end as well ( I can catch and block as well). But I run a 5.5 on 40 yard dash and I wanted to get better by going 5.0 or lower. What type of drills, exercise, and workout for me to start working on?

Also, I wanted to be explosive at the line of scrimmage, so what drill or workout should I be doing?

Thank you for your time to read this!

Oh I almost forgot, winner will immediately get 10 point!
Correction: Im playing power defensive end, and wanted to get better on my speed. Also, tight end…

A quick way to decrease your 40 time is to lose weight. If you feel you can play tight end at 230-235lbs instead of 247 and still block effectively etc., losing those 12-17 lbs will undoubtedly drop your 40 time a little. As far as drills go, I’d work on agility as much as straight line speed – 40 yard square drills are good (forward 10, shuffle 10, backpedal 10, shuffle 10). Being able to make hard cuts will often free you as a TE and can be more useful/effective than pure 40 speed in getting good separation from LBs and safeties on short and mid range pass paterns (like a TE generally runs).

Good technique usually beats brute strength in blocking so work on your blocking technique if you really want to be a tight end because more often than not coaches expect the TE to block as well or better than he catches – pass catching tight ends who can’t block don’t stay on the field in running situations if they can’t block the guy in front of them consistently.
