The 2024 NFL Draft is here, making it an excellent time to highlight some of the class' best players with scouting reports. Each report will include strengths, weaknesses and background information.
Here's our report on Beaux Limmer.
Limmer has good versatility along the interior of the line. He had 28 starts at right guard before moving to center for his last 13 games. He is most effective when proactively attacking defenders as a blocker, as a run-and-pass blocker.
He has strong hands to control defenders once engaged and does a good job of moving his feet to generate movement in run game. Limmer plays with poor weight distribution and body control as a pass blocker. He tends to drop his head and lean into defenders, resulting in him coming off blocks after initial contact. Limmer is a technically sound lineman who plays with good hand placement and has the athleticism to move his feet to stay engaged after initial contact, especially as a run blocker.
Overall, Limmer is a versatile interior lineman with extended experience playing OG (primarily RG) and center. He will provide immediate interior OL depth with the skills to contribute in Year 1 at center or guard. He will likely be drafted either late Day 2 or early Day 3, and he has the upside to become a solid NFL starter.
All-American (PFF) and Second-Team All-SEC in 2021 and 2022 at right guard. He was on the 2023 Rimington Trophy Watch List for the Nation’s best center.
