If the 4.62 time is accurate he won't be getting separation although he may be able to cut to a seam to get open.  One thing we had problems with this year was 2 of our three main receivers weren't especially fast or tall so Stanley M was used the most on deep routes

4.62 won’t get open? 

 
Can’t we call him something other than WR?

FrostBack?

FrostedRetriever?

I feel like we need a sweet new name for the position some of these guys will play?

Against Ark St, Illinois and maybe Minn it probably will.  4.62 is fast to the average person on the street but to DB's at Ohio St, Mich, Penn St and a few other schools plus most bowl teams we will play in the future, 4.62 is average speed.  Quickness and route skills get you separation on short routes but for down the field throws and at only 5'8" those aren't the measurable that get you success vs the elite teams.  I'm not saying he can't be an effective receiver because Spielman does very well.  I saw he and Tyjon Lyndsey get covered up too many times this past year.  Some of it may have been the routes they were asked to run.  To me a 6'2" corner with 4.5 speed and good cover skills trumps a 5'8" receiver with 4.62 speed most of the time.
