Shields: Speed to burn

Undrafted free agent cornerback Sam Shields said he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.19 seconds between his junior and senior years at Miami.

A finalist in the Florida state high school 100-meter race (he finished seventh at 10.5), Shields said he figures he could have tried for the Olympics if he had put his mind to track and field.

"It was just a football thing," he said. "I was really focused on that."

Shields said he had scholarship offers from Miami, Florida, Florida State and LSU coming out of high school.
