Even his "crappy" 4.50 time (that's exactly what AJ Green ran) at the combine is still the NFL equivalent of an eternity ahead of Sanu's 4.67 time and barely slower than Marvin Jones' 4.46 time (he has 10lbs on Jones as a side note).... but yeah, he tore it up on the cone and shuttle drills\ which would be that acceleration and change of direction you're talking about.
But yeah, he turned in 4.33 and 4.36 at the Pro Day, so even if you want to take the middle ground, it's a very respectable 4.42-ish or so.
Just don't see Braxton as a slot WR, or a Sanu replacement. If anything he'd be an outside WR replacement for Jones and your emergency #3 QB on gameday.
