For a DB "make up" speed is most important.
That includes several factors:
1. Play recognition
2. Angle taken
3. Quickness in change of direction
4. Straight-line speed
The scheme is important as well: if man, the DB needs great instincts; he needs to be able to read the man he is covering, adjust coverage, stick with his man, and turn his head at the correct moment. If zone, he needs to be able to read and react quickly, and move FAST, using the correct angle, to shut down a play in his zone.
