Vic Beasley rarely turned the corner to see Clemson coach Dabo Swinney lined up in the backfield, so it was a fun change for him to see Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn batting down his blocks Friday on the first day of training camp. Quinn, who’s entering his first year as a head coach with Atlanta, showed the same high energy at practice that he’s been preaching this offseason for his players as he slipped on blocking pads to join in a few drills at the team’s facility in Flowery Branch. It’s a hands-on approach that has several Falcons, including rookie Beasley, excited about their prospects in 2015.
