Steelers (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/pittsburgh-steelers) 5th round draft pick Chris Rainey's (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/155089/chris-rainey) best attribute is without question his speed.

In a not-too-distant second place, though, is his competitive nature.

His bio from the University of Florida (http://www.gatorzone.com/football/bios.php?year=2011&player_id=144) notes the typical kinds of things - success in high school, including a Florida State 5A championship at Lakeland High, with with the Brothers Pouncey, and being a part of a 4x100 relay team that placed third at the national championships in 2008.

It also notes he defeated two known speed demons - former West Virginia running back Noel Devine (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/131024/noel-devine), and Florida teammate Jeff Demps, who's an Olympic level 100 meter runner.

Only the supremely confident would challenge such individuals, and only the ultimately competitive would note his victories on his team's biography. And he's not done there, either. He's already challenged, more or less, the reigning Steelers king of speed..........
