I hear people keep mentioning his pace, but he's never stood out as one of the quicker players in the league whenever I've seen him play. Not slow, but pace hasn't been the thing that stood out (as it sometimes does with quick players).
Is "quick" just how he's described in the media now, or have people actually seen it in action to know he's quick? Is he Malen-quick, i.e. rapid over the first five yards, or Diaby-quick, in that when he opens his legs and is up to speed, no one is catching him?
