Any rookie coming from a small school faces a daunting transition in the NFL, but Minnesota Vikings rookie Willie Beavers is not only making the move from a mid-major school to the pros, he's doing it at a position he's never played.
In the offseason, the Vikings made a concerted effort to address the problems on the offensive line. What started with the injury losses of John Sullivan and Phil Loadholt prior to the start of the 2015 regular season led to the Vikings doing a major shuffling of the O-line, where the only starter who was in the same position as he was in 2014 was left tackle Matt Kalil.
