Everything is relative and no, CEH is not a 'fast' runningback. He's a fast human being, but at this level, he's not someone who lists speed as either a strong asset or a serious liability. It plays. It's fine. He's a fine broken-field runner who can probably house a play where he's in the middle and can make a single guy miss at the second level. But he's not spread the edge and start outrunning angles down the sideline like JC or even Williams could do.
His speed is adequate and that's fine when combined with his other strengths. But in Madden that don't get you much.

Honestly, I think speed for a RB is overrated.
Let me divulge. I think the true speed guys tend to overly rely on it and try to over use it. They become "big play searchers" that are all about that aspect, they don't want to bang out those 7 yard gainers or the vision to the hole gains where you make a guy miss in the hole and gain 13 yards.
Now, if you have a guy that can do that AND has speed (think Charles in his prime) well yeah, thats ideal. Or AP when he was in Minnesota early.
But for a RB these days and especially in this offense, give me wiggle and vision. Thats what made Hunt so perfect for it. He could rip off a big run here or there and get the offense going. I'm hopeful CEH is that.
