2. Vic Beasley, 2-star

Vic Beasley was a 2-star athlete coming out of high school.

He actually was originally supposed to play tight end at Clemson, but moved over to defensive end and has made a career out of it.

Beasley, who was just a 2-star prospect, left Tiger Town as the all-time sack leader with 33 and he holds two spots on the board of most sacks in a single season- 12 in 2014 and 13 in 2013.

Beasley went on to be drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the top 10 of the first round and has had a solid NFL career.
