1. Quinten Rollins, CB (Miami of Ohio)

Rollins is a very underrated cornerback from Miami of Ohio. He was a two sport athlete, playing basketball as well. Rollins takes much of the skills he learned in basketball onto the football field. The 6-5 196 pound cornerback ran a 4.57 second 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine. He displayed much needed vertical ability with a vertical jump of 36.5 inches.

Rollins is a dominant cornerback at times. He had seven interceptions in the 2014 season. The biggest knock against Rollins is that he is inexperienced, he only had one year of college football. While this is a legitimate concern, he played extremely well in his one season. I would draft Rollins near the end of the 2nd round or the beginning of the 3rd.

Rollins has incredible athletic ability. He is an aggressive cornerback who excels in bump and run coverage. He is not the greatest tackler in the world but other than that and his inexperience there is not much to dislike.

These are five players that you may not have known a lot about going into the 2015 NFL Draft. GMENHQ is here for all your 2015 NFL Draft coverage, analysis and opinion.
