Personally? I think less of him for not running.
For me it confirms 2 thoughts in my mind and both of them are bad. First it confirms that he's slow (and he knows it) which in and of itself isn't bad. But for me it confirms that he didn't work hard to get faster; imo any prospect that takes getting faster seriously can get with the right people and train their butt off and run a decent 40 time. He's gonna have to run a hellva 40 at his pro-day b/c whatever he runs will be consider aided by a fast track.

I looked at a few videos of him and I thought he was like a less polished Amari Cooper. Wasn't blowing the doors off of people, but making tough catches.

I don't think he's anything like Cooper. I thought Cooper as prospect was up their with Julio/AJ. Superb athlete with outstanding speed, strength and run after the catch. Excellent route running ability and outstanding ability to separate. Easily a top 5 prospect.
Treadwell, while bigger, isn't near the athlete, probably lacks top end speed, is decent after the catch but not dynamic, is an average route runner and doesn't separate anywhere close to the level of Cooper. Now, I'm not trying to kill Treadwell here; there are some things I think he does well. He's got good size and uses it well to out position DBs. But compared to Cooper.....well for me its not a favorable comparison.
