The DE and Linebackers are now huge masses of muscle that somehow still have good speed. There have been pretty huge increases in the physicality of the league since the 90's. This is spot-on. Super fast individuals have existed for a long time in the NFL, but now everybody is bigger and faster as a group. There have been super-fast receivers all the way back to Bullet Bob Hayes in the 1960s. The difference is now you have teams drafting guys who were defensive ends in college that ran in the 4.4-4.5 range like Dwight Freeney and DeMarcus Ware.
