Thanks for pointing it out . I used the correct times for my dataset, yet I have no idea how I gave them both wrong 40 times.

Connor ShawJunkYardDog "Besides the fact, that Shaw outperformed Manziel, and Teddy Twatwater in every catagory of the NFL combine."I wanted to point out that this is false.
I used the top 15 QB performers of the 2014 NFL Combine as my population.
Combine results:
40yd Dash: Shaw - 4.66 sec, Manziel - 4.68 sec
Avg: 4.83 sec, Standard deviation: 0.14 sec
Placing Shaw and Manziel within the same standard deviation.
Very slight edge: Shaw
Vertical Jump: Shaw - 34", Manziel - 31.5"
Avg: 30.5", SD: 2.49"
Placing Shaw one SD ahead of Manziel
Edge: Shaw
Broad Jump: Shaw - 9' 8" (116"), Manziel - 9' 5" (113")
Avg: 110" (9'2"), SD: 4.23"
Placing Shaw one SD ahead of Manziel.
Edge: Shaw
Three Cone: Shaw - 7.07 sec, Manziel - 6.75 sec
Avg: 7.11 sec, SD: 0.21 sec
Placing Manziel in one SD ahead of Shaw.
Edge: Manziel
20yd Shuttle: Shaw - 4.33 sec, Manziel - 4.03 sec
Avg 4.25 sec, SD: 0.09 sec
Shaw is -1 on the SD scale and Manziel is greater than 2 on the +SD. The gap between is large.
Exceptionally Large Edge: Manziel
Tally: Shaw - 2 edges, 1 slight edge. Manziel - 1 edge, 1 very large edge
If you skew the data where the avg was the worst performer of the two (Shaw and Manziel) and kept the SD, Shaw and Manziel are within the same SD on 40yd Dash, Broad Jump and Shaw is barely one SD above Manziel on the Vertical.
Skewed Tally: Shaw - 2 slight edges, 1 very slight edge. Manziel - 1 edge, 1 very large edge.
Two Notes on the 20 yd shuttle:
1. The 20 yd Shuttle is the only time either one of the performers dropped below the Avg.
2. Manziel is the 2nd fastest QB since 2006 (Matt Scott, 2013, 3.99 sec), no info before 2006
P.S. Teddy Twatwater beat Shaw at the 20yd Shuttle (4.2 sec)
TLDR: Shaw did not outperform Manziel in the draft.
Edit: Corrected 40yd Dash times
