Watch the film it's obvious. But if you want to get technical, quick feet is mostly about lateral quickness. Collins has been timed from a 4.2-4.4 in the 20 yard shuttle. That's about average for his position. Not elite.

100 meters is basically straight line speed. Lateral quickness is different. His quickest 20 yard shuttle I found was around a 4.2, while other times were around a 4.4.

NFL Elite is around 4 seconds flat and under. Hootie has the quick feet and hips to play CB. Collins doesn't. Nothing wrong with that since he's a safety, but it gives a clear advantage to Hootie since NFL highly values safeties that can move up and play corner if need be.
