Jerry Rice, the all-time great wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers called it "game speed." And he was right. Sometimes, measurements taken in a lab or sports training facility aren't congruent with actual ability. Rice was a guy who never ran a 40-yard time much faster than 4.5, but I don't ever remember him being caught from behind on the field. He always said that he couldn't run just to run, but that he needed to run with a purpose - and that it's easier to run away from large men chasing you than it is to run from point A to point B.
Regardless of that fact, check out the video to see how teams are using testing protocols to enhance their player selection criteria.
