Banks: 4.43 in the 40
Paul: 4.40 in the 40

Banks was hurt I believe when he ran that 40.
Also straight away speed isn't the be all end all. Banks sets up his blocks well, makes good decisions, and is one of the quickest and most agile players through traffic in the league. He has IT. Whatever IT is he's got it when it comes to catching a ball and getting to top speed immediately and then making guys miss. He's an absolute threat to go to the house every time he has the ball.
I wouldn't hate Austin as a kick returner against most other KRs in the league...but against Banks he is a distant second to me.
