Manti Te'o blamed his poor combine numbers on not getting enough sleep,  and having a long day:
 
“I was running near a 4.6, a 4.5,” Te’o told NFL Network after officially clocking a 4.82-second 40-yard dash. “Today was just a long, long day.”
 
Te’o called the Combine a “very exhausting process,” explaining that he got to bed late and got up early, with roughly four hours of sleep per night.
 
He promises to have an improved showing at the Notre Dame Pro Day workout. “[People can expect] better numbers,” Te’o said. “[I will be] rested.  One day you hit it hard and then you are done.”
 
I feel like most of those athletes go through long days, but they don't complain. The real pros usually don't make excuses. Manti Te'o could have just said that it was not a good day for him, instead of giving reasons why he didn't peform. People will be even more focused on him the next time around, but Te'o will also be at Notre Dame, which is like his second home.
