Canes stacked with underclass talent debating NFL Draft. Here’s what coaches are doing
There’s no denying that the Miami Hurricanes have a suffocating defense with some stellar players who will enter the 2019 NFL Draft that runs April 25-27. This year, UM coaches have been extra vigilant in ensuring that the youngest draft-eligible players are educated on the process and what they could face.
Some of the draft-eligible players are seniors — defensive tackle Gerald Willis, cornerback Michael Jackson, safeties Jaquan Johnson and Sheldrick Redwine immediately come to mind.
But others are gifted underclassmen, such as the entire starting linebacker trio of juniors Shaq Quarterman, Michael Pinckney and Zach McCloud — and of course, defensive end Joe Jackson.
