Atlanta Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley said he's fully recovered from a labrum injury he suffered during his rookie season.

Beasley told reporters Wednesday that the injury was blown out of proportion and he's back to full health.

Selected eighth overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, Beasley started in all 16 games last year and recorded 26 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception.

Beasley will feature at strong outside linebacker in 2016 and told reporters that he's been studying Denver Broncos superstar Von Miller to learn counter moves.

Entering his second year, Beasley is expected to take on a larger role on the Falcons' defense.
