As the NFL continues to tweak its rules in the name of player safety, the modern game has become hyperfocused on speed and agility. This is why we’re seeing teams put a greater emphasis on drafting players with elite athleticism than ever before.

Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot has consistently prioritized athleticism throughout his four seasons with the team.
