Every year during training camp we hear stories about rookies leaving their team because the NFL can be a tough and overwhelming experience for a young player. And it’s not often that a team begs that player to come back to camp. But for Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver Cole Beasley that is exactly what happened.
Beasley left Dallas’ training camp in early August after he became discouraged with the challenges of the NFL. He wasn’t sure if football was in his future anymore. But just because a player leaves camp because they are discouraged, does not mean they don’t have a future in the NFL. Dallas Cowboys’ former starting cornerback and Super Bowl XXX MVP Larry Brown left camp because he didn’t think he was cut out for life the NFL. Jimmy Johnson reached out to Brown, much like Jason Garrett did to Cole Beasley. Both coaches were eventually able to convince their players to return to camp and continue their careers.
Fortunately for Cole Beasley, he came onto the scene where specialized players are in vogue. Beasley is strictly a slot receiver who has a knack for finding the soft spot in zone coverage and can quickly create separation near the line of scrimmage. A high percentage of Beasley’s catches came on third down, and eight of his fifteen catches resulted in first downs. I want to be clear about Beasley. He will never be a number one receiver, or for that matter even a number two receiver in the NFL. But that doesn’t mean he won’t have value for his team and that he can’t be a key piece in the offense. Beasley caught only 15 passes for 128 yards in 2012, so file this away as an incomplete scouting report of him.
