Cooper Kupp and Kyle Hamilton also guys that ran poor 40 yard dash but had really good play speed via GPS. Kupp got a 20 mph on the gun and Hamilton got 21.

I think Tesla acceleration, not Lamborghini top speed, is more valuable. Especially in our offense.

I think that's the wrong way to look at things.

Instead, look at it as, "What thing does this player do that's SPECIAL, how special is it, and how can we utilize that special thing?"

I think that's how the Chiefs view things, rather than "we dont like this kind of guy or won't draft that kind of guy etc" .

I think that's accurate.
