Falcons defensive end Dwight Freeney is looking forward to work with linebacker/defensive Vic Beasley, who’s set to enter his second season in the league.

“I’ve seen a little bit and I’ve heard about him,” Freeney said on Thursday. “He has a lot of potential and a lot of talent. Hopefully, I can help him out and teach him some moves here. Maybe, I’ll have him spinning, you never know. But I think having a guy like that with so much youth and energy is going to be good. It will probably motivate me, too.”
