I'm pretty surprised by his 40 time...he burned so many DB's including ours a few times over the top. Maybe his double move is even better than we all thought.

I've read others commenting on this today in light of his time, that he was a master of freezing the defender and then exploding past them... which may have inflated his 'deep speed' appearance a bit. His 40 form could also use some serious work

I was convinced he'd be a first rounder, not so sure anymore. It does help some of the best receivers in the league past/present aren't burners.

True, but most of them were pretty well rounded. Mario holds a lot of the speed WR stereotypes, quick but not physical, explosive but not always consistent, able to go deep but not always over the middle.
The time may not be indicative of his ability, but if scouts buy it... he could be pegged as a speed WR without the speed.
