I haven't seen many of these young guys play so I don't know much about much, but Laurent Robinson ran under a 4.4 in the 40, and it seems to me 'Quan had a really slow 40 time for a WR (4.5-4.6 range, IIRC?).Also, isn't C. Henry a speed guy? Which would be virtually the exact opposite of A-Train, who I don't think has EVER been considered "fast"...

Before this gets taken out of context - I'm not saying that Boldin is slow. Just that he doesn't have that straight-line burner speed that Robinson seems to. Boldin is more quick/shifty/big/strong. I may, however, be saying that A-Train is slow. Because he is.
