Let's see, looking at the other team, we have Michael Huff who was a 4 year letterman in track at Texas. So, he's probably pretty fast.
Huff has "world-class speed". Gibril Wilson is no slouch either.
FWIW, Donte Whitner's draft hype says that he has borderline world-class speed himself with a 4.40 40 yard time. Johnnie Lee Higgins posted a 4.48 40 time officially, but has run faster at other times (4.34, 4.38). And no, this wasn't exactly the first guy that has pull away from Whitner with apparent ease.
As far as what other players would have run after Higgins: unknowable. Most likely the vast majority of NFL defensive players would have run after him rather than turn at the 50 or 45 yard line and jog to the bench.
