Robert Beal Jr.
Georgia Bulldogs
One-Liner:
This is a vicious pass rusher with a tireless motor. What he lacks in size he totally makes up for with speed and aggression.
Evaluation:
Very aggressive pass rusher with a tireless motor and someone who is great at finishing plays. He has a very quick first step which allows him to get into an offensive lineman's body and push them back. Rushes from both outside position and inside position, so he is someone you always have to find presnap. Brings a lot of energy when he is on the field. Listed at 6’4, but looks smaller on film. Didn’t have much overall production at Georgia, but had impressive sack numbers for the amount he was on the field. He doesn’t have the most extensive amount of pass rush moves, but what he uses he is very good at.
Grade:
3rd-4th Round
Background:
Robert Beal Jr. got off to a tremendous start at Georgia in 2018 as a freshman. During that span, he played eleven of the team's total fourteen games. He then began to see more of an impact in 2021, when Georgia won the National Championship. He played in all of the teams' games and he even had a team-high six and a half sacks and also added sixteen QB pressures. With his strong contributions in 2021, Beal Jr. will look to help and lead Georgia to back-to-back championships.
