I don't think it's fair to judge Burfict on that 5.09 time. It was reported that he was very out of shape and either injured or coming back from injury when he ran.
Just a guess, but he's probably a 4.8 guy at worst and yes, his instincts do make him "faster", but there's no way he's really a 5.1 guy. That's o-lineman speed and Tez is great in coverage and makes plays sideline to sideline.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
