Can Quinten Rollins Solve the Jaguars’ Safety Woes?

Quinten Rollins is a basketball player. He’s transitioning his game to be a defensive back in the NFL, but for now he’s a basketball player.

As a basketball player, he logged seven interceptions, nine passes defensed, and a defensive touchdown in one season on the football field.

Quinten Rollins is raw. That’s what comes with only playing football for one year.

Rollins has played on the basketball court for four years with The University of Miami (Ohio) but with a semester of eligibility left he thought he’d give football another shot. He ended up the MAC defensive player of the year for 2014.
