Glimpse of Dri Archer's speed, skill seen on first day at Latrobe

[stillers4me]

There is fast and then there is NFL fast. Everybody has quicks in this league, even the 300 pound linemen can move, some with frightening speed for their size.
Then you have Dri Archer, Steelers third round pick.


His "fast" is not even normal NFL fast. At 4.26 in the 40, Superman has to pay attention.

Steelers fans got that chance to see the speed for the 1st time up close and personal on Saturday from Latrobe as the team held its first official workouts at camp. Archer was involved in a variety of ways, both as a back and out of the slot as a receiver. He also saw a bit of special teams work.

But it was his time in the slot that drew the oooh's and awww's from fans and reporters as Archer made some nifty, even shifty moves and cutbacks in the 11 on 11 drills that gave a glimpse of what could come in the fall.

Now this was men in shorts on the first day mind you. But still, it was fun to watch and according to Archer, he enjoyed it as well..........

Speed is great, but you still have to turn your head and catch the ball. Gonna be interesting. Ben can throw some tall balls. Hopefully the line can help him find some windows. Don't want to see abunch batted at the LOS.
