Physical, downhill linebacker with NFL-caliber size and special-teams value
Beavers is a long, powerful inside linebacker who made his name at Cincinnati as a downhill tackler and disruptive run defender, then showed enough versatility to earn a 2022 NFL Draft selection. His biggest differentiators are physicality, length, and the ability to create negative plays, but his value is shaped by his injury history—his rookie season was derailed by an ACL injury, and evaluators have viewed his ceiling more as a reliable backup and special-teams contributor than a proven starter. He fits best with a team that wants toughness, depth, and tone-setting energy.
