TE have been getting taller and faster, a mismatch problem for a smaller safety. When a 6'5" TE can put the 5'10" Safety on his hip and out reach the guy in the Red Zone, 4.3 speed will not be a factor.
Just watch Graham or Gronk play, they eat smaller safeties for lunch, and they out run LBs for dessert.
