2022 MAC Football Positional Previews: Toledo Rockets defensive backfield

The Toledo Rockets will look once again to be one of the toughest passing defenses in the conference in 2022, with a unit which looks to return largely in-tact to last season’s, which rallied in the second half of the season to be the MAC’s toughest.

A major part of that resurgence will b in the defensive backfield, which returns three starters and a handful of rotational contributors who should have a chance at a starting role in 2022.

The Rockets were a Top 25 unit in the passing defense, allowing only 198.2 yards per game, while also limiting scoring to 21.
