I don't think its really all that accurate unless you have some tech directly on the runner or a gun. A guy who runs a 4.4 forty yard dash says it's only 18.6 mph. That's easily sub 4 second 40's just based on MPH. I think if you can get a 100m translation it would be more accurate but there are certainly better people than me here who could do that.
Ted Ginn, FMIP (Fastest Man In Pads). My guess is in a 60 yard dash he'd hit 24mph if not faster. Tyreek Hill too
Edit: the 100 meter conversion says 9.9 seconds 100 yards is 20.67 mph. Thats only WR speed though, lol. Methinks this MPH thing is a bit inflated. Otherwise, JJ should have just rocked the world with his 8.89 100.
Yes I know meters/yards not the same.

I‘m sure the 20.67 is the average speed for a 9.9 second 100 meters, from starting blocks, so the top speed is much faster.
Usain Bolt’s top speed was 27.33 mph, and his world record 100 meter time (9.58 seconds) averaged 23.35 mph.
Using Bolt’s ratio of top speed to average speed, a 9.9 100-meter runner would have a top speed of 24.19 mph, which is about what you estimated.

See I knew there was someone better to do this.
You really nailed the issue with the "Top Speed" portion that the equations don't really figure. 27 is speeding in neighborhoods!
@Zurp I guess to answer that is to say World Class speed and distance wasn't a problem. JJ hitting near 24 means he would give Ginn a run in the 40. I'll reserve any comparisons to Ginn in general though because I've never watched anyone faster wearing football pads.

And it is warranted, JJ Smith is the best WR prospect I have ever seen and I would say that even if he didn't land here. He puts in the work in every single category and also is naturally gifted beyond belief...hard not to compare him to MH Jr. in that regard. We are going to be in for a treat here.

He should be much better with media by the time he leaves for the NFL
I think it is hilarious, taking a playful jab at the "influencer" girls that post pics like this in their Lulu Lemons haha.

Jeremiah Smith Will Be An Immediate Starter for Ohio State
Ryan Day indicated that true freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith will be in the starting lineup for Ohio State’s season opener against Akron on Saturday.
Jeremiah Smith Will Be An Immediate Starter for Ohio State
Ryan Day needed only one word to answer a question about whether Jeremiah Smith would be on the field at the beginning of Saturday’s season opener against Akron.
“Yes,” Day replied succinctly.
While Day didn’t outright say who Ohio State’s starting wide receivers will be on Saturday, his response made clear what was already expected for Smith. The No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, Smith will be an immediate starter for the Buckeyes as a true freshman.
Assuming Smith is in fact on the field for the first snap at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, he’ll become the first true freshman to start a season opener for Ohio State since Denzel Burke started his first game as a Buckeye against Minnesota in 2021.

Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate are expected to join Smith in the starting lineup, but Day said Brandon Inniss is “right there” with those three and that all four of those wide receivers will see considerable playing time.

Calls to mind the debut of freshman Michael Wiley against Rice in the 1996 opener.
He scored all three times he touched the ball, a 49-yard reverse and TD catches of 51 and 60 yards.
