Before FIU training camp began earlier this month, cornerback Emmanuel Lubin took several of his FIU defensive back teammates to work out with his brother, NFL cornerback E.J. Biggers. Over several weekends throughout the summer, Lubin and his Panther teammates got pass defense tips from Biggers, an eight-year NFL veteran.

Biggers, who has played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots, kept it simple for the Panthers defensive backs.

"My brother told us always protect against the deep ball, stay focused and have a short-term memory when it comes to playing defensive back," Lubin said.
