Vic Beasley was selected with the eighth overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons and posted four sacks during his rookie season. Despite that level of production, he's still on track to be an impact pass-rusher in the NFL.
Most of the knocks on him are anecdotal. Early on in his college career at Clemson, he was a tight end after playing running back in high school. His size, listed at 6'3" and 235 pounds on the Tigers' official site, was a major reason for that. It slapped him with the "tweener" label and led some to question whether a non-blue blood defender was worth a top-10 pick.
