A lot of the Big Plays in the Chiefs offense stem from Speed after the Catch (Not just running Go Routes - which really wasn't a super strength of Gabriel anyway)
Gabriel was particularly lacking (considering his supposed skill set) in of making Home Runs out of Singles/Doubles
It's not really speed for speeds sake

It's not only taking the top off of defenses and making Home Runs out of Singles/Doubles (neither of which Gabriel did particularly well), but it's also what Gabriel did do well (and Tyreek Hill also excels at)--the comeback. I seem to remember Gabriel picking up a lot of first downs in critical situations because defenses had to respect his speed so much that they were open to the comeback.
