Umm..
Speed is important for every dot on defense.
We're going to need a little more to work with.
Blitzing is mostly about SA support. Coverage needs a huge dose of Vision.

the simplest build. lucky you.
Speed until you puke. and then a little more speed. once you have enough speed then add a little more speed.

This skill is very important for players who rely on speed to create separation from defenders, or to keep up with other players who are very fast.
Additional Levels:
Increases the chance of the skill working, and the boost to acceleration.

This player goes all out when he blitzes from a LB, CB, SS, or FS position, making him less likely to be pancaked or engaged in a block.
This skill is most helpful to lower strength players who get pancaked often during a blitz.
Additional Levels:
Increases bonus to avoiding pancakes and blocks while blitzing.

This player is a sneaky blitzer. The Disguise Blitz ability increases the chance that opposing QBs and blockers will not account for this player's blitz, leaving him unblocked, when he is playing any non-defensive-line position.
This skill is most useful for linebackers and secondary players who blitz a lot, especially against an offensive line with poor vision.
Additional Levels:
Increases the chance of this player not being picked up by the offense.
IMO... Your priorities would be Speed, then Agility for base acceleration and bending the corner, then Tackling for larger tackling radius, the strength to help with break block roll, then jumping for diving tackle radius. get 60+ vision for a good jump off the snap.
But this build is really about Speed and using Head of Steam to not get engaged in a block. Disguise Blitz and 1st Step can be bought later. You should be able to end north of 160 Speed total, and still pack in all the SAs you need.
