Malone is decidedly faster than Core.  He ran a 4.40 at the combine compared to Core's 4.47.  FWIW, Erickson didn't receive a combine invite, but ran 4.44 at his Pro Day, while Malone and Core didn't run at theirs. Both Core and Malone measured 6'3" at the combine, and weighed in at 205 and 208 respectively.  So, they have very similar body types.

The big difference, aside from speed, is Malone has better hands and body control, which give him that big catch radius and the ability to go up and get it.
