How high is the ceiling for Vince Biegel?
Biegel has been reported to be in the running for a starting outside linebacker job in Miami’s base odd-front defensive looks — a bit of a surprise after the team brought in Shaq Lawson, Emmanuel Ogbah, Curtis Weaver, Elandon Roberts and Van Noy this offseason. But it was undeniable last season that Biegel was a source of energy for the entire team. His blue collar approach undoubtedly endeared him to the coaching staff and when it was announced that he would return to the Dolphins for another year in 2020, it was assumed that he’d have just as big a role to play.
So now the question falls on how high his ceiling is. He’ll probably never log 10+ sacks in a season, but if he can win in the early downs and continue to play with a high effort level, we may see a bit more production from Biegel in the long-run. This is the perfect player to see “graduate” into a rotational role as the talent on the roster continues to improve throughout Miami’s rebuild. But he’s very much going to be a player you want on your team regardless — even if you’re ideally trying to whittle away at his role for more dynamic defenders.
