AJ Green:  4.5 40-yd, 1.56 10-yd split, 4.21 20-yd shuttle
Tee Higgins: 4.59 40-yd, 1.66 10-yd split, 4.53 20-yd shuttle

That's AJ at the Combine and Tee at his Pro Day (he didn't work out at the Combine) and pretty universal fact that everyone times faster at their Pro Day. 

Doesn't have the short burst, the long speed, or the change of direction speed to be a true #1, and I don't think he has the sheer brute physicality to get over the lack of speed like Anquan Boldin.

I think Tee was pretty spent at his Pro Day.  I know he had a nagging injury as well.   He had a very long season and he seemed to play faster than this for the Bengals.  Some guys, it seems, pads don't slow them down much at all.  His playing speed (next gen stats anyone?) I think was surprisingly good.

I remember Richard Skinner, a guy who's opinion I respect, asking "what does Higgins do REALLY well", and it was a fairly short list.  Bottom line is he is good at almost everything.  While I will still dream of a guy like AJ or Chad in his prime on the other side of the field with him at the same time (Boyd, Uzo/Sample, and the RBs would FEAST in the middle), I am still VERY happy we have Higgins.
