I seem to recall that none of the scouting knocks against Jennings were about his speed. Prior to the year he was drafted, the knocks on Jennings were twofold: he came from a small school, and he's too slight for the NFL (might have problems going over the middle against hard hitting safeties and might be dogged by injuries). Nobody, from what I can tell had anything negative to say about Jennings's speed and quickness. In fact things like "He is a shorter, compact athlete who has fine speed and quickness. He has excellent hands, and has shown an ability to run after the catch. He has fine open-field running skills with the quick moves to make tacklers miss and the sudden acceleration to run away from defensive backs" were part of most scouting reports on Jennings (that was from rivals.com).

I think the writer missed on his facts there.
