Speed isn't the #1 attribute a WR needs to create separation. While speed helps on deep routes, those are only account for a small fraction of plays. Agility and short area quickness are much more important. Jerry Rice was the best to ever play the position but was never considered a burner. What made him special, besides work ethic, was the ability to stop on a dime and make the DB break his ankle with precision cuts on his routes.
