Five Things We'll Look for At Rookie Minicamp

1. Time for the Vic Beasley, Jr. show: All eyes will be focused on Beasley, Atlanta’s first round selection last week. Projected to assume the LEO role — essentially a designated edge-rusher — it’ll be interesting to see how the eighth overall pick is used from the start.

As DJ Shockley mentioned in the latest FalconCast, coaches like to throw a lot of information at rookies during minicamp. How will Beasley respond to a new staff teaching him a new position?

2. UDFAs have potential: Among the many undrafted free agent signings are several with intriguing upside — including New Mexico State alumnus Valerian Ume-Ezeoke.
