rollo lawson Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 From all accounts so far, people have been talking about how big and fast the guy looks out at mini-camp. I think that #3 he wore at Clemson made people sub-consciencly perceive the guy as smaller than what he actually was. So what if he starts his career as a 3rd down specialist. If he can help get this team off the field on third down, he'll be worth the 8th overall selection. I honestly believe he will be a double-digit sack guy this year.

djbrough Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 He and Khalil Mack are basically the same size, but all of the pundits seem to forget that. He'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 He was also the exact same size as Von Miller coming out of college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really interesting comment about him wearing #3... could very well be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Radical Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The emphasis people put on an inch and 5-10 pounds is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldirtybird Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The emphasis people put on an inch and 5-10 pounds is ridiculous.was reading about grady jarrett the other day how he was undersized at the draft at 6'0 305, then read another article about someone 6'2 310 and how they have ideal size lol, these guys are so big and so active that their weight fluctuates alot. Also the "supplements" they take can cause alot of gain/loss in and out of their playing cycles. Alot of it is really over blown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaveli96 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Size and speed don't mean as much in the NFL as people try to make it. It's all about technique, and Beasley has the best technique of all the top pass rushers that came out of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring It Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 All the hot air about a player's size reminds me of one of the most VICIOUS hitters ever to play in the NFL......Lester Hayes, CB for the Raiders in the 70's and 80's. He was 6' tall, 200 lbs. and could put anybody on IR with one hit. Anybody. One h.ell of a DB, a pure football wrecking machine. 200 lbs.

Oldskooler Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The emphasis people put on an inch and 5-10 pounds is ridiculous.Throughout history, men have been trying to convince women that an extra inch or two doesn't mean a thing.Hasn't worked.It won't work now with football pundits.

Daunte Culpepper was actually just about the same weight as Mean Joe Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wjcorner Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Beasley's size concerns were more about his lower base and overall body composition from what I remember. They were quelled when he came in heavier with the same explosiveness at the combine anyways though.

kiwifalcon Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I thought the actual knock on him wasn't his size but how the mentioned would handle NFL size ie OT's 300 + lbs and bigger hence why he was only projected to be situational type player.Thats how I understood that comment.

Guest Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 $5 says he has a better year than Fowler... No because Dante is so good he can sack people from the sidelines..... At least that's what the people that wanted him think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
