Quentin Rollins | Cornerback | Miami (OH) | 5'11" - 195 lbs.
 


OVERVIEW After four years of basketball and with a semester of eligibility left, decided to give football a shot in 2014 after being away from the sport since high school. Named 2014 MAC Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-MAC. Finished the season with seven interceptions, including a pick-six against Ohio. Participated in the 2015 Senior Bowl. Four-year starter for the Miami (Ohio) basketball team. Only player in school history to record seven steals in a game twice. Honored with Richard Shrider Defensive Player of the Year Award for the basketball team three different times. Four-year football letterman and three-year team captain for Wilmington High School (Ohio).

STRENGTHS Four-year basketball player. Seamless transition to football field as a cornerback. Has point guard's foot quickness and hip fluidity. Plays with balance and above-average play strength. Well-built and competitive. Can be a disruptive press-corner. Has NFL-caliber "click-and-close" ability. Good leaper. Attacks the ball and receiver at high point. Good instincts and overlaps to make plays beyond his territory. Ruined hitches and bubble screens his way. Physical and has a strong desire to tackle. Wraps up receivers and throws his body at running backs in open space. Crowds receiver downfield, giving little breathing room. Has recovery quickness and natural anticipatory traits in coverage.

WEAKNESSES Likely lacks the necessary experience to come in and help right away. Too reliant upon foot quickness. Needs technique work. Outside-in releases get him turned around. Shows gambler tendencies. Always sniffing around on underneath throws and opens himself up to double moves. Will get caught lunging in press coverage. Basketball is his first love. Scouts wonder whether he loves football enough to keep working at it. Must answer questions about his long speed.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 2 or 3

SOURCES TELL US "We are grading him as a safety. He can play cornerback too but he has to be protected a little bit because I don't think he's fast enough. I think he's a 2nd round safety but a 4th round cornerback." - AFC defensive backs coach

NFL COMPARISON Perrish Cox

BOTTOM LINE Rare start-stop-start suddeness. His ability to change gears instantly gives him a chance to develop into a talented cover cornerback. With more work on technique and overall discipline, Rollins has the physical tools to become a very good NFL starter.

40 Yard Dash: 4.57

Genuinely shocked we selected another defensive back. I didn't think we actually needed two defensive backs to replace Tramon and House.

Wonder if one of our current CBs or S are on a real short leash. I get planning ahead in case Hayward departs or in case of injury. This seems more like replenishing the defensive backfield.

This guy's instincts are off the charts.

According to PFF, Rollins stats as a corner in college were outstanding. The fact that he put up those metrics as only a first year player is, honestly, downright scary. PFF gave him the fourth-highest coverage grade amongst all draft-eligible players this year.

When QBs threw against him, they had a 45.6 QB rating; that was 6th best among all CBs in this year's draft (and ahead of CBs like Waynes, Peters, Kevin Johnson).

In over 900 snaps (thrown at 65 times), Rollins only allowed 2 TDs, while having 8 INT and 8 deflections. So, on 25% of the passes thrown his way, Rollins got his hand on the ball.

Still shocked we selected another CB. Considering he was only playing his first year of college football, I have to think his talent and potential is off the charts.

Quinten Rollins, CB, Miami (Ohio) 

Projected Ranking
Overall Position Proj. Rnd.
49 8 2



STRENGTHS: Constructed well for the position with good length and solid build for his height. Fluid athlete with coordinated footwork and smooth belt action to easily flip his hips.

Good flexibility out of his stance, keeping his nose over his toes and staying low to spring in any direction. Above average ballskills, reflexes and hand-eye coordination (16 passes defended in 12 starts).

Impressive tackling technique for a player with his inexperience, sinking, striking and wrapping with timing and pop. Throws his body around with emphasis and embraces the physical side of the game. Good eye use to read and anticipate the play before it happens, staying dialed in with natural instincts to put himself in position to make plays on the ball.

Ideal toughness for the position, both physically and mentally. Highly confident with a short-term memory to bounce back quickly after mistakes, especially important for a player with his inexperience. Aggressive hands to fight through blockers and make a play on the ballcarrier. Has experience on special teams coverages.

Mature work ethic with ambitious personality, both on and off the field. Solid durability with his body (not used to that type of consistent beating) holding up the full football season without serious injury. Productive one year on the football field, earning MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors.

WEAKNESSES: Only one year of football experience since high school and never played cornerback until spring 2014. Very raw technically and still learning trends and tendencies at the position. Unpolished recognition skills and needs to better anticipate route concepts and how to leverage the field.

Shows natural transitional quickness, but his mechanical flaws will hinder his ability to gain proper body position downfield. Often allows too much cushion at the line of scrimmage and is raw with his spacing and closing time. Does have press experience, but doesn't make contact off the snap and is unproven jamming receivers at the line.

Bad habit of biting on outside moves at the line and giving up inside position due to impatient feet. Too often flips his hips off the snap and needs time to develop his backpedal technique. Green behind the ears with defensive schemes and still learning secondary terminology.

COMPARES TO: Byron Maxwell, Eagles - Well-built, physical cornerbacks with the size/speed combination to stay on the outside are tough to come by and Maxwell and Rollins have several similarities.

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
