No, I'm pretty sure high-end ball skills aren't on his list of attributes. Given a large enough sample size, I feel like the guy will look awfully bad. While there may be a fair number of 4.6 CBs who were historically successful, there aren't many today. These high flying offenses and brilliant OCs are gonna pick that guy apart and/or we'll have to shift coverages to help him out.
Anytime you're gonna be that much of an outlier with one skillset (speed) you've gotta be that much more of an outlier in a positive way in another.

Like Chad Pennington couldn't throw it faster than 30 mph. But he had great accuracy and anticipation which allowed him to function.

Those guys that were really slow for a corner had great anticipation and ball skills.

Herb Miller likely doesn't.
