02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Giants run a 3-4 two-gap defense, emphasizing blitz packages and versatile linebackers.
Inside LinebackerStack LBBox LB
Best role
Initially a key special teams contributor with rotational snaps as an inside linebacker, developing into a starting two-down thumper.
Wrong fit
A weak-side 4-3 Will linebacker in a space-oriented, speed-focused defense.
Beavers' strength and run-stuffing ability align well with an aggressive scheme, allowing him to be impactful against the run.
