Quinten Rollins CB Miami OH #2
Wt: 195
[level-scouting-reports]
Size/Athleticism: Average height, a little on the skinny side and extremely short arms (30″). Did not test well at the combine.
Coverage: Fairly smooth but does make some mistakes with his footwork and can get turned around. Strong natural ability to read and react to the quarterback. More smooth in his movements than his testing numbers indicate. Recovery speed is adequate in bursts, but not in terms of his long speed. Probably needs help over the top. Not a lot of experience in press coverage and does not have the strength to excel as a press corner.
Ball skills: Basketball skills help out here. Times his jumps perfectly and attacks the ball whenever possible.
Run support: Willing tackler who closes fast. Lack of size hurts, but he’s always around the ball when he’s in the area.
Intangibles: Former basketball player with just one year of experience in D-I football. Played four years of basketball for Miami before switching to football in 2014. Played football in high school. Will be 23 years old as a rookie.
Durability: Missed time as a freshman with an undisclosed injury from basketball.

Overview: Rollins is a developmental prospect and sort of a ‘tweener between corner and safety. His lack of experience limits his ability to help out right away, but he shows some traits that should translate to the league and make him a potential future starter. Questions about his deep speed may cause some teams to view him as a safety, while others may keep him at cornerback and simply plan to have safety help over the top in most situations.
