Atlanta Falcons fans should be ecstatic with the selection of OLB Vic Beasley from Clemson. The Falcons took Beasley with the 8th overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft.
The Falcons have struggled with their pass rush the past few seasons and not surprisingly that is Beasley’s specialty. Beasley is Clemson’s all-time leader in sacks with 33 including 25 in the past 2 seasons. For good measure he also forced 6 fumbles and had 44.5 tackles for loss as a junior and senior.
Beasley will likely play the “LEO” linebacker position for the Falcons and will be asked to move around on defense.
