Beasley, who the lone unsigned draft pick, said that he expected that his contact would be signed soon.
He wasn’t too concerned about his injury.
“It’s going good,” Beasley said. “I think coach Quinn has a good plan for this team and specifically for my position, the Leo, and this whole defense.”
Beasley has valued his time during the individual drills, which are led by Quinn.
“Rarely in life do you actually get an opportunity to have a head coach that works your position,” Beasley said. “It’s a blessing for me to have him, a guru, at the position. I’m just learning everything from him.”
