Quinten Rollins drafted by Green Bay Packers

By Tom Downey, former sports editor

After playing college football for just one season, Quinten Rollins' name was called on the second day of the NFL Draft. Rollins was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round with the 62nd overall pick.

Rollins is the highest Miami University player to be selected in the NFL Draft since Ben Roethlisberger.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Rollins was the first Mid-American Conference player selected. He won the MAC Defensive Player of the Year Award after picking off seven passes, defending 16 more and racking up 72 tackles.

The Packers doubled down on the secondary with Rollins, after picking Arizona State's Damarious Randall in the first round. Both Randall and Rollins can play safety and cornerback. Green Bay had a big need at corner after losing Davon House and Tramon Williams.
