It's always dangerous to call somebody the first of anything :)
A few huge, fast lineman before Lipscomb come to mind: Cub Buck, Fats Henry, and Cal Hubbard.

Herman Kerkhoff was a good one too. Had the size and speed. Prior to his Ohio League days was used quite a bit as a ball carrier in guards back type formations especially in short yardage.

I guess you could say he was the first lineman to gain publicity because of television and being an a cham[ionship team.
