Speed is interesting because there is more than one way to measure it but most people always look at the 40 only. A good 40 time is impressive on paper and will certainly get you looked at by scouts but in football I believe 10 yard speed is more important because that is the distance where most plays take place. Being able to quickly change directions is possibly more important than having good linear speed because it doesn’t matter if a guy has blazing track speed if he can’t move laterally when there isn’t an open lane.

That would be the difference in speed and quickness...love to watch a back with quick feet! They can make defenders look silly
