Kelvin Beachum

How about this guy. I don't think he gave up any sacks, and no flags were called on him! Not bad for a 7 rounder playing his first nfl game on the road against a division rival

I would say we have to give the man some props as well.

he certainly held his own, and I hope he continues to maintain his level of play this week.

Kelvin Beachum Helping Steelers Resurrect Their Playoff Hopes
December 4, 2012 10:00 AM

The seventh round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2012 NFL Draft and son of Kelvin, Sr. and Culetta Beachum, Kelvin Beachum, Jr. made a statement in his first start in the NFL regular season. Beachum, stepping in for an injured Mike Adams, helped pave the way for the Steelers to be able to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 23-20, on Sunday. A standout in high school and college, Beachum has shown that he has the skills and perception to have a great professional football career.

Playing football for the Mexia Black Cats, Beachum was allowed only one sack as an offensive lineman in 2006. He was named first-team All District 19-3A as a senior (2007) and second-team All District his junior year. He was also given a two-star rating by Rivals.com and Scout.com in football. Beachum also played basketball for Mexia High School.

After redshirting for the Southern Methodist Mustangs football team in 2007, Beachum started in all 52 games 2008-2011. Playing left tackle, he was key in the offense that was able to tie the school record of 29 touchdowns in 2008 and was named to the College Football Top Ten and the Pegasus News All-DFW College Football team. In his second season, Beachum was once again key in blocking for the Mustangs, who were able to set the school record for passing (3,666 yards), points (380) and total offense (5,093). Named to the second-team All-C-USA by coaches in the league, Beachum was one of only 12 student-athletes to receive the fall C-USA Spirit of Service Award and was named to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football’s All-Texas Team.

Freakin' stalker

Think back to the draft ... DeCastro, Adams ... who could have imagined back then that we'd be here talking about Beachum right now?

Considering our o-line's injury history, I'm stunned we aren't talking about the Steelers' hot dog vendor for section 231 taking up the reins at RT.

He probably would have if you wouldn't have continued to tell him, "Come back when the next batch of hotdogs come out of the steamer!"

He did give up a sack by Kruger early on, but that one was as much on Batch as it was Beachum. I haven't gone through the game yet, but I'm pretty sure he had a solid game. One thing I did notice was his athleticism and his energy, which help to make up for his lack of size.

To be honest, I wasn't paying any attention to the O-line. That's the way I like it.

I had him sharing a game ball on another thread. I was impressed with his foot speed. Kruger didn't blow by him like he did to Adams. Kid is a classic IMO. Almost like the knock on Legursky, too small, can't handle the NFL linemen, yet he did his job and you never heard his name called by the announcers. I also think he did such a good job, it allowed Heath to get into the game because he didn't need to help Beachum so much. Impressive.

We may be seeing Max Starks' time in the 'Burgh coming to an end after this year. It seems the team hasn't been high on bringing him back the past two years and now with Beachum, Gilbert, and Adams as tackles, as well as flexibility with Foster once DeCastro takes over at guard full-time, I don't see the team re-signing Starks again next year. The changing of the o-line guard is finally here!

Yeah it looks that way,plus we can pick up a sleeper next year for insurance. I have to say Max has played well for us lately, hell our patchwork line has held it's own considering.

Amazingly they have, considering Adams and DeCastro have barely played between the two of them and they were widely considered as the saviors of this o-line. Adams has played decently in his limited time starting and DeCastro has yet to see the field, so it can only get better. This o-line will be scary good next year.
