I would say this: to me, this is just another example of how overrated tested speed is. You can run a pedestrian 40, but there are other critical factors of value in rating WRs.
My opinon is that catch rate, vision and route running are way too undervaled. Work etic and focus are also critical.
As for Thomas, I think the skill base was there- just needed the opportunity.
