WAY too much in speed, to the detriment of other things. No more points in speed for your next 10 levels (lol)!

With a speed of 69, you probably want your agility to be 50+. So you got along way to go, and building agility should be your top priority. That being said, you also have some other needs...

Stamina of 24 is maybe enough to be a backup, but over the next few levels you probably want it up near 30 or so. Daily training should be put into jumping (a very important skill for both PD's and diving tackles) and confidence (an important stat overall, that becomes even more important if you play on a mediocre or below average team).

Strength of only 14, combined with a tackling of only 25, might lead to tackling problems in the future as well. Strength also helps with getting some PD's & interceptions (when you are "fighting" a receiver for the ball).

I can only assume right now you have all of your equipment points invested in speed. If that is true, if I were in your shoes I would actually consider getting rid of some of the speed equipment in favor of agility. With the new changes Bort has made to the speed/agility interaction you want your agility to be at least 75% of your speed value (and some people are saying they should be the same). One easy way to help your imbalance a little would be to sell back your custom equipment (if it has +6 speed) and get a new piece that has +6 agility instead. That would put you at 63 speed and 41 agility, then if you put all 5 SP's into agility as well you're at 63 speed 46 agil. Still not great, but a lot better than what you have now. I bet if you watch your game films of your FS in action, he is constantly having to change directions in response to things developing in front of him. It's agility that lets you do that effectively, with some help from the "Change Direction" SA. Speed is really good for nothing other than straight-line running, which FS's rarely have to do. The only exception would be if your DC regularly has defensive packages where you find yourself covering speed WR's 1-on-1 at the line of scrimmage. If that's the case, then lots of speed is really important. Otherwise, it's a pretty healthy balance of vision, speed, and agility that is going to allow you the flexibility to respond to any situation in front of you.

My $0.02 at least.

No need to ever put more points in speed tbh. Agility/Vision needs immediate attention.
Confidence, Jumping, and Strength need to be trained to at least 20.
