Its' always good to have fast guys. Let me just say that right away. However, with the short passing game becoming the norm in football in general, straight line 40 yard speed is starting to take a bit of a back seat to other attributes. Quickness and change of direction ability is premium, especially for a slot corner. Teams are going with bigger guys on the boundary who can get physical and have the height to match up on jump balls. You obviously can't be slow but running fast in a straight line isn't really as important for corners today.
