Robert Beal Jr. brings NFL-caliber speed and edge pressure for Georgia
Robert Beal Jr. was a disruptive Georgia edge defender in the 2022 season, finishing with 25 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble, while showing the burst that helped him run a 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the 2023 combine.[5][6] The appeal is simple: he plays with good pad level, active hands, and enough lateral quickness to win both as a stand-up rusher and when dropping into space, which makes him a strong fit for a defense that wants versatility and juice off the edge.[9]
