Garrett Bean brings limited college production, but intriguing developmental depth on the defensive line
Bean is a low-usage defensive lineman at Northern Colorado whose college résumé shows mostly spot duty — two appearances in 2024 and no appearance in 2025 after five tackles in five games at Doane in 2022 — so he is more of a projection than a finished product. What makes him worth monitoring is his experience across multiple seasons and programs, plus the fact that he has stayed on a roster despite not piling up stats, which suggests coaches value his practice competitiveness and developmental upside rather than immediate box-score impact.[3]
