Check this stat from NFL.com In last 5 years, 15 WRs have run sub-4.4 40. Mike Wallace is only one with a 1,000-yard season.

Yet we coveted speed in the Marrone regime so far...
Seems to say WR's that can make plays after catching the ball, get separation, play physical, and make the tough grabs are more successful.
It's an interesting stat.
Before we go jumping off the Watkins bandwagon and on to the Evans train consider that Watkins averaged 9.71 yards after the catch. That's an incredible number. He doesn't use his speed to get open, he uses his speed to make plays with the ball in his hands.
