Vic Beasley was taken by the Atlanta Falcons with the eighth selection in 2015. While his rookie season wasn’t great, he really stepped up his game in 2016. 15.5 sacks with 16 quarterback hits and 11 tackles for loss made it seem like the Atlanta Falcons found a true force on defense.
However, the three years that have followed played out a different story.
2017 and 2018 each saw Beasley account for five sacks each and only one fumble forced over those two years. Add on the low tackling numbers and you can see the frustration building among the fanbase heading into 2019.
