I don't understand how someone could be the best slot defender and one of the best pass defenders in the country in general if he's as slow as these reports claim that he is.  Reminds me of reports of Desmond King a couple of years ago, who is currently the #2 CB in the NFL per PFF.  They were really high on both at Iowa.  Too bad they are slow

Joe Haden's speed has been questioned a ton over the years.  Josh Norman, too, yes?

It's not just a speed thing though. I've seen safeties that timed much slower but seem to absolutely fly into the box vs runs on blaze to the flat to stop swings/screens etc. I haven't seen that from Hooker yet though with the buzz around him, I'm sure it's in his film and I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Probably great anticipation skills and study of slight movements.
