Break away speed isn't always the key to long touchdowns.
Taysom's arm can get a ball in then endzone from behind midfield. Anything in that range can be a nice long ball or a middle crossing throw that ends up being open enough to take it in. Here were people's individual long receptions last year according to espn.

Leslie 83 (probably our most legit straight line speed last year)
Colby Pearson 81
Mitch M 71
Blackmon 56
Juergens 50.

We can get deep plays. I think having two legit threats on either side of taysom can really open up somethings if we can take the top off a bit. Regardless if Kurtz or Matthews are consistently out running guys, a 40+ reception on a long ball gets safeties anxious. Then a double move or a good route combo can really open up a nice seam. This is as much on play calling, and Taysom placement (which has looked encouraging so far) about true 4.3 4.4 speed (which, undoubtedly, does help).
