He was a district co-MVP, posting 1,184 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, 1,570 passing yards, and 12 touchdowns. He was rated as a two - star recruit by Rivals.com. College career Beasley accepted a scholarship from Southern Methodist University, where he was converted into a wide receiver, playing in 11 games with 7 starts as a freshman, while finishing third on the team with 42 receptions for 366 yards and 3 touchdowns. As a sophomore, he started 7 games, making 40 receptions ( fourth on the team ), 493 yards and 3 touchdowns. SMU would win the 2009 Hawaii Bowl marking the first bowl invite since the so - called death penalty. As a junior, he posted 87 receptions ( second for a single - season in school history ), 1,060 yards and 6 touchdowns. As a senior, he registered 86 receptions for 1,040 yards ( second on the team ) and 2 touchdowns. Professional career 2012 season Beasley went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft because of his size and was signed by the Dallas Cowboys. He left abruptly during training camp, stating he was dealing with `` personal stuff '', and even considered retiring from professional football. He went on to have a sudden change of heart, returning and making the final 53 - man roster. In 10 games of his rookie year, he made 15 receptions for 98 receiving yards. 2013 season Beasley found ways to be productive while being surrounded by a solid corps of wide receivers, having the highest completion percentage of any receiver in the NFL with more than 10 targets. He was targeted by quarterback Tony Romo on third down, especially in spread formations. Much of this became attributed to Beasley 's very good route running. He posted 39 receptions for 368 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. He also returned 10 punts for 68 yards, along with one kickoff for 11 yards. 2014 season He posted 37 receptions ( fourth on the team ), 420 yards ( fourth on the team ) and 4 touchdowns. He averaged nearly 50 yards per game during the final six contests of the season. In the Wild Card playoff win against the Detroit Lions he made 4 catches - three for first downs - for 63 yards and recovered a critical Romo fumble. 2015 season On March 3, the Cowboys signed Beasley for an additional 4 years, with a total contract value of $13.6 million. With leading receiver Dez Bryant injured for most of the season, he finished with 52 receptions ( tied for second on the team ) for 537 receiving yards and 5 receiving touchdowns ( led the team ), while playing with 4 different starting quarterbacks with varying degrees of knowledge of the team 's offense. At the beginning of the year he was used to fill in as a punt returner, due to his ball security ability. He was eventually replaced by rookie Lucky Whitehead after having poor return averages and a critical muffed punt in a loss against the New York Giants. 2016 season Beasley posted career highs in receptions and yards, catching 75 passes for 833 yards and 5 touchdowns on 98 targets. His 76.5 % catch rate ranked second among NFL wide receivers in 2016.
