Yes, open field speed is important but it's more about quickness, moves, and agility.
That's why linebackers can't stay with him and, even if they can, he has the ability to make contested catches and diving/jumping catches.
Im glad you like him so much and Im sure he will be good. This praise is a bit much, if all of this were true the guy would be a Top 5 pick. He may not be a 1st rounder and possibly not even the 1st TE picked.
It would be a tough decision for me if I had to choose Mayer or Washington for the Bengals with how much we use the TE blocking. Washington is an absolute road grader and I like his chances with contested catches, like Tee there are no 50-50 balls, more like 80-20 (according to Tee).
