It feels like only yesterday I was gaga (scouting term) over Vic Beasley. Coming out of Clemson, Beasley had perhaps one of the best first steps to come into the NFL draft in years. The first step is huge. Find me a consistently elite pass rusher, and I can probably show you a guy with an elite first step.
The Elite First Step
Having grown up on Atlanta Falcons, I can tell you a guy like John Abraham had a truly impressive first step. Jamaal Anderson was always a step behind.
