Vic Beasley Jr. was drafted with the hopes of fixing the Atlanta Falcons’ dreaded pass rush, but that hasn’t been the case thus far. Beasley has just two sacks in eight games and hasn’t had a sack since week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys.
The last five games for Beasley have been down right terrible. He has applied little to no pressure on opposing quarterbacks and has been tagged with several bone-headed penalties over those games as well. Beasley has lined up off-sides on several occasions and was flagged for 12 men on defense for not hustling off the field on a punt attempt.
Beasley still has a long way to go before he can be considered as one of the leagues’ best pass rushers. Something that has been decent for Beasley is his quarterback hurries which has him ranked 30th in the NFL with nine, but other than that, he hasn’t done much at all.
