When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Kendell Beckwith in the third round, most NFL draft analysts said they’d gotten a steal—albeit one who may not be able to play this year. A few months later and Beckwith is running with the first team as the middle linebacker, per JoeBucsFan.
Granted, Beckwith’s with the starters because of an injury to Kwon Alexander. It’s not clear how serious that injury is: there have been no hints whatsoever on that front from the Bucs, who hate giving away anything on injuries if they don’t have to.
