Quinten Rollins NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Packers' Rookie

STRENGTHS

Quinten Rollins has played more at point guard for Miami than cornerback. The one year he spent on the gridiron was a good one, as Rollins showed instincts, athleticism and the hands to make plays on the ball. In his only season of football, he was good enough to be named MAC Defensive Player of the Year with seven interceptions. He's a big, solid cornerback with excellent quickness and strength. Rollins moves like a former basketball player, showing excellent body control and confidence in his feet. He can start and stop on a dime and has rare change of direction skills. Rollins has good hands and is a physical, aggressive player challenging 50-50 passes.

WEAKNESSES

Rollins is quick, but not fast, and that's a concern when asked to run in man coverage. You can get away with less than ideal speed if you're long or technically perfect, but Rollins is neither of those. He bets on his quickness and takes too many false steps when asked to change direction—a technical weakness he makes up for with very good agility. He has short arms and won't be an effective press cover corner until he learns timing and placement in a jam. Rollins has to learn to not be baited into double moves, something he struggled with in college.

2014 STATISTICS

Tackles: 72
Passes Defended: 9
Interceptions: 7

PRO COMPARISON: Buster Skrine, New York Jets

Take away the raw factor and Rollins is a physically impressive zone cornerback with instincts and hands. Like Buster Skrine, his best position may be as a slot cornerback.

FINAL GRADE: 6.00/9.00 (Rookie Impact)
