NFL Draft Prospect: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina

Posted Jan 24, 2011
Robert Quinn is an aggressive pass rusher, but he's one that is in control. He'll overrun plays at times, but he's shown patience and an ability to read the play as well. He's been seen sniffing out screen passes and recognizing option plays, although some have criticized him for over-pursuing. He's quick off the snap, has good leverage and elite speed, and he has a tremendous first step. (Xtra Point Football)
