As I recall, Mike Anderson had the size to play pro ball but came out of college with a bum knee.
George Bevan was just a freak of nature. He was really too small to play but was damn good at just knocking the snot out of people in college.
One other thing that is overlooked is that playing pro ball was not as big a priority then as know. You talk to a lot of players from that era and they will tell that getting a free college education was what they were after not getting prepared for the NFL.
That and the NFL was a smaller league that didn't pay nearly what it pays now.

Anderson was the most dominant defensive player I ever saw play at LSU or any other school. Such a shame about his knee as he missed his entire junior year. Bevan Tomlinson and Anderson best three linebackers I ever saw in purple and gold.
Most teams had negative rushing yards. Anderson was also a fullback on short yardage and was a major beast near the goal.
His draft status was totally about his knees.
