A corner needs to have speed because the receiver KNOWS where he is going and the corner does not. Also the corner is at a huge disadvantage by moving backward at the beginning of a playand must adjust and recover quickly. Receivers need not have blazing speed. In fact of all the top tier WRs in the game, Horn is probably the fastest. And for those talking about Beerman blowing by DBs in 4 wide sets? That does not happen often for anyone. In those sets you must get rid of the ball quickly and hope a WR can make something happen after the catch. In 4 wide formations you don\'t have enough protection to allow a WR to run a deep post or similar pattern.

Corners need to have speed and receivers don\'t. If that\'s the case then we don\'t need recievers, we need all tight ends that can use their size to make catches.

Joe Horn the fastest of all the top receivers. Have you ever heard of Randy Moss, or any of the Rams receivers. I could go on and on, but I won\'t.

As far as a receiver making something happen after the catch. Nothing is going to happen after the catch if the reciever doesn\'t have speed, because they will be caught and tackled. Speed, Speed, and more Speeed.
