Based on his outstanding workout, there should no longer be any doubters. After doing 31 reps at the combine, Archuleta completed things by running a blistering 4.37 on turf and also coming through with a 39-inch vertical jump. With numbers like that, it's easy to see why Archuleta was such an explosive performer within the Sun Devils defensive structure. Now a possibility for the Saints in the latter stages of round one, it appears that Archuleta is at worst an early second-rounder.

Now why he isn't 'faster' on Madden '06 is beyond me.

I think he was referring to his routine workouts post-being drafted. I wouldn't be surprised if he has improved on those numbers since then. He has a good trainer who makes him do things that give him an advantage over most players. Does anyone remember that MNF game about two seasons ago where they dedicated a whole halftime to one of his workouts?
