People questioned his speed before the combine and even afterwards his critics claimed he didn't play to his 40 time on tape.
I'll see if I can find some critiques.

I couldn't find draft profiles from some of the more well known sites. CBS has scrubbed their profile completely. The last article noted Mayock was worried he might run a 4.8 at the combine.
Biggest knocks on Kuechly; too small, too slow, not enough splash plays, numbers inflated by tackles downfield beyond the line of scrimmage.
