People often get enamored with the new shiny toy; I’m no different 😂.
Biegel’s recovery should have had him ready play a week or so before start of season; if there were no setbacks he is physically mega-ready to play.
Not sure what Biegel can do this year. But, we saw how quick Martinez picked up the D last year and like Martinez, I expect Biegel has assimilated the playbook as well as any rookie w/ very limited practice can possibly do. He is a leader stud w/ great football acumen and an unrelenting drive. He was a better college player than TJ Watt, though some think Watt’s game translates better to NFL better, we’ll see. Biegel will be assignment sure, just not sure if he’ll be able to beat NFL Tackles this year. If he gets some snaps, some motor sacks will come while he does a decent job holding the edge, covering TEs and Backs and playing his hook zone responsibilities. Then next year when he’s a bit stronger, another year removed from injury, playing faster like Martinez did this year, you'll see why the hype...I hope!
At least 1 team took him off their draft board for the foot problems and it’s unimaginable the 1265 med staff didn’t feel the same way or very close to it. This means Ted had to have a 2nd round grade on him to pick him early 4 and liked him much better than Lawson. We see how Lawson’s been doing, so it is intriguing.
Biegel just might make a few plays per game this year and I expect him to at least become a special teams demon.
