The Green Bay Packers reached an agreement with second-round pick Quinten Rollins on Monday.
The cornerback got a four-year deal. According to the Packers’ rookie salary pool, Rollins will make $680,466 this year. The entire contract is reportedly worth $3,742,566 with a $981,864 signing bonus.
Rollins’ signing leaves only first-round pick Damarious Randall and third-round pick Ty Montgomery unsigned.
Rollins, a Miami (OH) product, played only one year of college football. He was the MAC defensive player of the year in that one season, in which he totaled 72 tackles and seven interceptions. However, one season of college ball doesn’t make you NFL-ready.
Rollins is expected to take some time to grow and adapt to the NFL game. We do not expect him to be a huge contributor for the Packers on defense this season.
He does have the type of athleticism to make him a very intriguing prospect though.
Watch this.
Guys the real deal. I dont think you need a lot of experience to be good at corner. The position is really just about natural talent and following a guy running a route.
He could be starting before the year is over, especially considering how made of glass our corners seem to be year after year…..
Corner is one of the hardest positions to play, especially in the current version of the NFL…
That doesn’t necessarily mean it requires a lot of experience. It means it requires insane quickness and athleticism. To be a good corner you have to be faster and quicker than the receivers.
Good point.
Damn, that college degree is really paying off.
Can’t wait to see him called Roaring Rollins,
The guy looks like a lion how he takes them down, knowing where te prey is going too.
Good insticts so to speak.
Fucking hate highlight videos playing crap music. Play game call commentary instead. Much less annoying.
With the ‘won’t contribute much this year’ tag hung on him, guy’s probably going to be the Packers ROY.
