Player to Watch: Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson Tigers

There are many players to watch at every position, but one of the most intriguing prospects to take the field at the NFL Scouting Combine will be Clemson Tigers outside linebacker Vic Beasley.

While he is viewed primarily as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defensive scheme, Beasley has the speed and the athleticism to play at defense end or as a linebacker in a 4-3 game plan. His versatility is one of his biggest assets.

One of the biggest concerns for teams will be his size. NFL.com has Beasley measured at 6’3” and 235 pounds, and that is very small for an outside linebacker in the league. The young man can always add more weight, but his height could raise a red flag.

On the field, Beasley was a dominant force. In 13 games last season with Clemson, he racked up 34 combined tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, six quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown.

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein breaks down his bottom line for Beasley:

"

Projects as 3-4 outside linebacker. Considered one of the best pure edge rushers in the draft, but needs more sophistication to his approach. Has speed and explosion to become an absolute menace for a creative defensive coordinator. High-impact talent but needs to crank up competitive nature in order to reach his potential.

"

Regardless of Beasley’s size, he has the motor and the raw skill to translate his talent to the next level and will prove that at the scouting combine. As a former running back and tight end in high school, Beasley will be able to showcase his tangibles in a favorable setting.

If the pass-rushing specialist comes in at around the same size, he will fall to somewhere in the middle of the first round. There are plenty of franchises that could use a player as skilled as Beasley, but the perfect fit is the Cleveland Browns at No. 19 overall.

While Cleveland already has talented linebackers like Paul Kruger and Barkevious Mingo on the roster, Beasley would be given the proper time to develop and make an impact on passing downs. As he continues to learn the NFL, he would eventually be the long-term replacement for Kruger.

The Browns also need help at the weak-side linebacker position. If Beasley shows the versatility to be able to slide inside, he could be the perfect selection for a franchise in desperate need of a slam dunk in the draft this year.

Predicted Landing Spot: No. 19 overall to the Cleveland Browns
