Question about 40 Yard Dash?

Question

This is my first year playing Varsity Football for my High School and we have been practicing for about a month now. We just had our first "mock-combine" last week, that included Vertical Jump, 40 Yard Dash, etc. My 40 time was 4.74...I just turned 16, am 6'3 and I weigh 170. Is this a good time for a 40 yard dash? I think it is pretty good, but I want to see what everyone else thinks too....

Update:

I plan to play WR and Safety, so keep that in mind for your answer.

Update 2:

My vertical jump was 24.3

Yah pretty good time what was your vert?

Your vert is not that great :/ considering how fast your 40 is. Are you sure its accurate?

to be ur height u need to put on more weight and get stronger and work on ur legs mostly squats and deadlifts to improve ur 40, being a wr and prob not a D - I fball player if u can get into the high 4.5s to mid 4.6's u could be pretty good and get ur vert up to atleast 28 or so and u could be a real soild hs fball player

good u cant expand ur pace in two weeks however simply train strolling the forty approximately to instances in step with day. u too can purchase a few ankle weights and run and bounce with them approximately five instances per week. this may expand ur explosives with u run the forty. at such a lot u cant see a few outcome in a single month.
