2024 NFL Draft: Beaux Limmer Scouting Report
The Arkansas Razorbacks have had an up-and-down tenure in the SEC. From early struggles to the glory days under coach Houston and players Darren McFadden, Felix Just knew. From the scandalous Bobby Petrino to the disgusting Chad Morris, Arkansas football has been through it all. Luckily for the program, Sam Pittman has been his consistent way from Georgia and has Arkansas humming—one of the reasons why is Arkansas Razorback center Beaux Limmer. Limmer was a three-star recruit out of Tyler, Texas, committed to Arkansas. In his first two years, he red-shirted and started games sparingly. 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. In his senior season, in 2023, Limmer became a full-time starter at Center. He solidified himself as a player worth an NFL draft pick, but is he a first-round pick? Let’s dig into the film to see why he’s a late-round gem.
Beaux Limmer Player Evaluation
Limmer’s Strengths
- He’s tailor-made as a zone scheme blocker with light feet and fluid hips to perform reach blocks.
- Has outstanding balance. He is very light on his feet and helps as his game is about quickness.
- He has surprising strength to stay attached and swing his hips to seal rush lanes. It is even more impressive how he can perform blocks to seal the back side opening cutback lanes.
- Impressive making adjustments on the fly. Exhibits a high football IQ, identifying stunts, twists, and blitzes.
- Also good at exhibiting post-snap awareness and making adjustments on the fly.
- Reaches second-level players with ease
- Has good punch timing, strength, and hand placement to stall bull rushers. He keeps his feet moving when facing contact.
- Not only have they had success, but they are also super experienced, with over 49 games played and 41 starts—starter at Guard and Center.
Limmer’s Weakness
- He occasionally lapses in pass protection technique. He can also be overaggressive and get caught lunging at defenders. NFL defensive tackles with pass rush moves and plays rush plan will expose him.
- Small lean frame that Limmer needs to add frame and bulk to handle power at the NFL level, especially with shorter arms
- The technique in pass protection needs to be better and more consistent due to athleticism limitations.
- He has Shorter arms than you would want to play canter or Guard
- Balance can be compromised when redirecting, causing him to get beat by counter moves across his face.
Projection: Fourth Round Pick
NFL Comparison: Luke Fortner
Best Fits: Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Buffalo Bills.
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:

Nebraska punter breaks down while talking about his family back home in Australia
Archie Wilson came all the way from Australia to play football at Nebraska, and the freshman punter is admittedly feeling a bit homesick. Wilson recently enrolled at Nebraska after growing up in Victoria, Australia, and playing a different brand of football. The 18-year-old spoke with the media for the first time on Tuesday, and he was asked about his family back home. Wilson became overwhelmed with emotion. "I love them a lot. I've got two little brothers and my mom and dad ... yeah, that's the tough part about being here," Wilson said. "I love them a lot, but they know this is what's best for me, and it's good I can still talk to them plenty over the phone, and they're coming here to see the first few games, so I'm looking forward to that." Wilson is a rugby-style punter who trained at Prokick Australia, which is a program that trains Australian athletes to become punters and kickers in American football. Several current NFL players and Division I student-athletes came from Australia and trained with Prokick. Nebraska will have a new starting punter this season after three-year starter Brian Buschini graduated, and Wilson is competing for the job.
Jon Gruden 'looking forward to having the truth come out' amid lawsuit against NFL
Jon Gruden sent another warning shot toward the NFL after scoring a major win in court. On Tuesday, Gruden welcomed a ruling that will force the NFL to litigate the circumstances of his firing in court rather than closed-door arbitration. The former Las Vegas Raiders coach made clear that he intends to continue his legal challenge to the NFL to ensure that they are held accountable. “I’m looking forward to having the truth come out, and I want to make sure what happened to me doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Gruden said in a statement provided to ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. “The league’s actions disrupted the whole season. We were leading the division at the time and they completely blindsided me and the team.” The Raiders were 3-1 in 2021 when Gruden was forced to resign after some offensive emails that he sent between 2011 and 2018 were leaked. Gruden has alleged that the NFL leaked the emails to force him out of a job after obtaining them during an investigation into the Washington Commanders. The NFL is set to appeal Monday’s ruling, but if that appeal fails, the league may be forced into public discovery. One alternative would be to offer Gruden a settlement, but he has not said whether or not he would be interested in such a resolution. Gruden has not held an NFL coaching job since the Raiders forced him out. He has recently spoken about possibly making a return to coaching at the college level.
Jordan Love's thumb surgery comes at inopportune time for Packers
The Green Bay Packers have a cause for concern with Jordan Love in the preseason. The quarterback suffered a thumb injury during the Packers' 30-10 loss to the New York Jets on Saturday. Love went 1-of-5 passing for seven yards and took a sack for -3 yards in the defeat. Both of his drives ended in punts. Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Love is set to have surgery on his thumb after seeing how it held up at practice on Monday. General manager Brian Gutekunst believes Love will be ready for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. "Gutekunst sounded adamant that Love will be ready for Week 1 against the Lions," Schneidman wrote. "Hit his left hand on a helmet on that half-scramble vs. Jets. Wanted to see how it felt at practice yesterday and decided to get it fixed to avoid future issues. Will be with team in Indianapolis. "Brian Gutekunst says Jordan Love is having a procedure done on his left thumb. It’s a 'ligament thing.' Hurt it in the preseason opener. Gutekunst hopes he returns to practice next week." The injury comes at an inopportune time for the Packers. Love and the majority of his receivers have not been in sync during training camp and in the preseason game. Like last season, Packers' receivers have dropped passes during practices and did so in the preseason opener against the Jets. Green Bay needs Love on the field, gaining chemistry with his pass-catching targets, including first-round pick Matthew Golden, before it plays the Lions.

Bryson DeChambeau divulges Scottie Scheffler's biggest advantage
We all know Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer on the planet by a fairly large margin, but what makes him so much more consistent than other stars in professional golf? Bryson DeChambeau, one of Scheffler's biggest rivals in major championships, thinks he knows the answer. In Tuesday's appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," DeChambeau detailed how Scheffler dominates the PGA Tour weekly. "He's got the best spin and distance control I've ever seen," DeChambeau said. "He controls the golf ball from a spin perspective so much better than everybody else. Like, if you're 175 yards out, and it's 10 miles [an hour] into the wind, he knows how to control the flight and spin to get that ball to land right next to the hole every time. Probably since Tiger [Woods], he's the best that we've seen." The stats confirm DeChambeau's breakdown. Scheffler has ranked first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach in three straight seasons. He also ranks first in proximity to the hole and greens in regulation percentage over the last four years. Iron play is Scheffler's superpower, but it wasn't always that way. "I played with him in college a bunch, and I've said it before, but he's definitely improved since college for sure," DeChambeau said with a chuckle. "It's impressive to see what he's done, and we're all aspiring to do that. That's something I've gotta get better at. I can hit it farther than him. I can hit it probably straighter than him. I can make just as many putts as him, but, really, it's about my iron play right now and wedges to get a little more consistent." Iron play is the biggest indicator of success in professional golf. If you're giving yourself more birdie chances from close range than anyone in the field, you're going to have the best chance to win by Sunday afternoon. No one is better at hitting specific distances more consistently than Scheffler. Just look at how accurate he is. DeChambeau has the best chance to catch Scheffler as the best player in the world because he's elite off the tee and on the greens, but that won't happen unless he makes a major improvement to his iron game.
