Limmer was a full-time starter at Right Guard by his redshirt sophomore season. In the Redshirt junior season, Limmer was named an all-SEC player at Guard to show his versatility.

Bottom Line
Beaux Limmer is an underrated center prospect with NFL Guard versatility. He is one of the smartest players in the draft and has a great balance. He’s more than capable of performing reach blocks and sealing his backside to open rushing lanes. However, he struggles with athletic ability due to his lack of size and arm-length limitations. If he improves his technique, Beaux Limmer can be a good starting center in the NFL. Main Photo: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsMore must-reads:
