asterisk in the sense if it came down to Beasley and another of the top rushers... it could be a factor. Yup, the "love to play for" is common but sometimes it is stronger than others. Somehow Beasley strikes me that way. I'm sure Keenan Lewis would have played hard for Atlanta. I don't think he would have given them any discount though. The Saints were his "dream come true". That is definitely a factor to put in the whole equation.

No it isn't. You don't factor that into picking a player because he already has a favorite team. That's stupid.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Former Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd is obviously a little biased when talking about his former teammates, but he sounded convincing when he made a bold claim about draft-bound pass-rusher Vic Beasley.

"There's nobody that matches him in the country," Boyd said Thursday during Clemson's pro day. "I think that he's an instant-impact player in the NFL. People talk about [Florida's] Dante Fowler and how he could be the No. 1 defensive player taken. But I think it would be a mistake not to take Vic first.

"Somebody asked me who you could compare him to. You can't do it with J.J. Watt because J.J. Watt is not as explosive as Vic, and J.J. Watt is the best defensive player in the league."

When told about Boyd's high praise and favorable comparison to Watt, Beasley snickered for a moment.

"I don't know," he eventually said. "I guess we'll see at the next level."

The 6-foot-3-inch Beasley, who weighed in at 246 pounds on Thursday, earned the league's attention with his jaw-dropping performance at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, where he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.53 seconds, completed 35 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press and posted a 41-inch vertical leap.




I think I don't give a frick what he likes and don't like
He could have a Falcon tattooed on his face for all I care. He's gonna be a badass.......



Anyway we are not going pass-rusher in the first anyway so it don't matter.
