HOUSTON -- You would never say Vic Beasley is the reason the Atlanta Falcons are in Super Bowl LI and the Cowboys aren't. But that won't stop Dallas from spending considerable man hours looking for the next Beasley prior to this spring's NFL draft.
You see, Beasley is the Falcons player who is most different from anyone on the Cowboys' roster. He led the NFL in sacks in just his second season. He was the all-time sack leader at Clemson before being selected with the eighth pick in the 2015 first round.
While Beasley is a 245-pound linebacker whose game is all about speed, the Cowboys will be searching for a defensive end who can provide the big sack totals.
