Well, I believe there is a big difference between 4.34 speed and 4.38 speed.
Let's take two WRs one has 4.34 and the other is 4.38
WR1 = 40/4.34 = 9.22 yds/sec
WR2 = 40/4.38 = 9.13 yds/sec
also lets take a CB with 4.4 speed ( fairly fast for a CB)
CB = 40/4.4 = 9.09 yds/sec
So lets see how long it will take our WRs to gain 1 yd on our CB
WR1 - CB = 9.22 - 9.09 = .13 yd/sec
so it will take WR1: 1yd/.13yd/sec = 7.7 secs to get 1 yd separation
compared to
WR2 - CB = 9.13 - 9.09 = .04 yd/sec
which will take WR2: 1yd/.04yd/sec = 25 secs to get 1yd separation
7.7 secs vs 25 secs is a BIG difference.
(check my math --- maybe I did something wrong)
This is all under the condition that players play to their timed speed. There is no getting off a jam, rout recognition and hip flipping in a 40 yard dash either.
