Measurables:
Combine height: 6-3
Combine weight: 243 pounds
Combine 40 time: did not run at Combine
Stats:
Beckum caught 23 passes for 264 yards and no touchdowns in a senior season that ended prematurely due to a fractured left fibula. After spending his first year at Wisconsin on special teams and as a backup linebacker/defensive end, Beckum concluded his Badgers career with 159 catches for 2,149 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Skill Set:
When Beckum considered turning pro following his junior season, some scouts had him ranked equal to or above Jets first-round pick Dustin Keller. The two have similar game in that they’re far more pass-catcher than blocker. Beckum has natural hands and above-average speed, with the ability to threaten defenses down the seam. He’s a decent route-runner who isn’t afraid to go over the middle, and he has good burst and is capable of making defenders miss in the open field.
