CB Quentin Rollins, Miami (OH) -- Somebody PLEASE tell me why I should give a shit about this guy. I've seen nothing on tape that's been remotely impressive about Rollins, yet I am assured time and time again that he's this great athlete, that he has the measurables NFL teams want, that teams will love his tools that he's working with. Well, the Combine popped several balloons, but none perhaps more resoundingly than Quentin Rollins. His 4.57 40 disqualifies him from virtually every defense but strict zone teams -- which Rollins has no experience playing anyway, since he only played man defense. And while his 5'11", 195 lbs frame is usually what the doctor ordered, his 30" arms might as well shrink him down an inch (or two). All of this could be excuseable if his tape was exceptional, which, sadly, it isn't any time he plays real competition. His biggest weakness, in both press and off man, is that he gives up the inside very easily. His ability to mirror and track routes is poor in general, as he gets beat on a lot of comeback routes and drag routes as well. He is a pretty strong and aggressive tackler, possibly one of the best this draft has to offer. But what happens before the ball arrives is what matters, and Rollins simply doesn't cut it.
