Analysis video: Robert Beal's fit at Georgia
Which player does Robert Beal compare to in Kirby Smart's scheme?
The 2017 recruiting haul is beginning to look a lot like Christmas for supporters of the University of Georgia, as head coach Kirby Smart and his band of Bros. are reeling in talented prospects like those pheromone-harboring, supernatural creatures in the TV show Grimm.
Being how it's virtually impossible to procure that elusive "Natty" without a gang of authentic NFL-caliber personnel at your disposal and a necessity to have said personnel fit exactly what you're trying to get accomplished -- schematically speaking -- it becomes a joyous occasion when that caliber of player is a scheme-specific fit.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Robert Beal of IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.), is exactly what the doctor ordered for a defensive scheme that does a great job of isolating edge defenders who possess both the quickness and technique versatility to hit home from alignments of a 6-, 7- or 9-technique.
The versatility stems from being able to work from a two-, three- or even a four-point stance, while occasionally peeling back -- in addition to flat duties.
Beal has displayed the ability to do all that and he will now do so for the Red & Black after his recent commitment.
Bang it below for some video analysis on exactly how his skill set is perfect for Smart's scheme and which superstar from the coaches' past Beal's skill set resembles most.
