Have you tried him out?

I picked up one, he runs fine most of the time, sometimes not so much. I think he trips over his shoe-strings or something.

I've been curious about 0 speed players myself. I've seen post that said it doesn't matter and they aren't that slow but I've never kept them or played them on my teams.

you should check him, at least. He may surprise.

I played a guy worse and he still made plays. Granted I cut him after preseason. Move him to DT as a space eater to clog up runs.

I just don't understand if he has speed it should be listed. That would change his rating and maybe make him a bit more decent to possibly keep.

I know there was a post somewhere about 0 speed players ... I just couldn't find it.

In that post about the 0 speed players, it was said that 0 speed players were the slowest players on the field, that's all.
I have a linebacker with very little peed that still plays well. I think they make up for the speed with other attribute. Your DE seems to be a very good run stopper.
