Hopely he can do well after graduating.suduri xusaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514381713516547280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-13252996726720379622015-04-22T19:07:44.132-04:002015-04-22T19:07:44.132-04:00A Red Shirt year would have made all the differenc...A Red Shirt year would have made all the difference for Beyer, that and possibly seeing what he could do as a TE.

He didn't dominate in the game and he often looked out of place. He was not a high motor kind of kid and wasn't the most physical specimen on the field. I am not sure if defense was his strong suit, but offense wasn't his either. He was really just a notch better than most of his team, but not enough I was seeing a superstar in college. Obviously the coaches saw something, but he never really hit that potential. Maybe it was all the changes, maybe is was a lack of effort or maybe it was just poor scouting. I am not sure a shift to the offense would have made a huge difference in his output while at Michigan. He is probably a great kid and he got a world class education. Best of luck to him.Nick.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-10384445161523910562015-04-22T07:53:40.761-04:002015-04-22T07:53:40.761-04:00I think Frank Clark offers an interesting comparis...I think Frank Clark offers an interesting comparison. IIRC both guys arrived under 220#. To some degree, they were "projection" players (ones where you'd have to imagine them with more weight) as opposed to someone like Justin "Mr. Plow" Boren, who was ready to go right away size-wise.<br /><br />Clark got bigger (and better), Beyer struggled a bit to get bigger and wasn't as impressive at the higher weight.<br /><br />Maybe not quite that simple, but you get the general idea .....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-76702371330900557482015-04-22T07:48:38.024-04:002015-04-22T07:48:38.024-04:00too late now, i know, but do you think beyer might...too late now, i know, but do you think beyer might have been more successful as a tight end?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
