Tall receivers generally have slower forty times but higher top speed.

Two players can run forty yards in the exact same time, but at the forty yard mark one could be running a lot faster and pulling away.  Chris Henry and AJ were both like that.  Neither had a really impressive forty time but they could blow the top off a defense.

For years I have been saying that the combine results should include "top speed" in addition to the "elapsed time" that everyone always cites as the one-and-only measurement of a player's "speed".
