Antrel Rolle-
With Rolle playing opposite to Patrick Peterson, we'll be able to have full press man coverage for our defense. Our corners are fairly big (PP being 6'1 and Rolle being 6'0). This will be important vs. many of the bigger, better receivers in this league. I'm really pleased with our defensive backfield right now (though, the lack of safeties could be an issue). we'll explain a bit more of our defense later on, but the basic concept will be a 4-3 man under front with 2 deep safeties.
Rolle will play CB for us (even though he plays some safety in the NFL), the same position as he did at Miami.

Quote:
Rolle was an All-American CB for the University of Miami where he especially excelled in press-coverage. Notable performances included shutting down future All-American receivers Larry Fitzgerald (3 catches for 26 yards) and Calvin Johnson (2 catches for 10 yards).
In 2001, his freshman season, Rolle was one of four true freshman to letter at Miami. He appeared in eight games, recording eight tackles and an interception. Rolle started 11 games as a sophomore in 2002, earning All-Big East first-team honors. Rolle totaled a career-high 66 tackles with two sacks, six tackles for a loss, seven pass deflections, and an interception for the season.
In 2003, as a junior, Rolle recorded 51 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, seven broken up passes, and two interceptions on the year. In his final season, 2004, Rolle was a consensus All-American. He recorded 58 tackles his senior year, 6.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, six pass deflections, and an interception. He was hurt late in the '04 season and missed the Virginia Tech game because of a foot sprain.

Quote:
Leon Hall is an excellent all-around cornerback who excels in zone coverage. He is very solid at man to man coverage and can hold his own against most receivers. He plays with an aggressive style and likes to be physical in press coverage at the line of scrimmage. Hall is considered fast, however he lacks the elite speed of some NFL corners which may create problems against deep speed routes downfield. He shows good quickness while changing directions with receivers, moving to the inside or outside while remaining in position to make a play on the ball. Hall can also be a factor in the running game and does not shy away from sliding inside against the run. His quickness also allows him to be effective coming off the edge on the blitz. Hall was a standout cornerback at Michigan and really came into his own during his junior season starting all 12 games and leading the team with four interceptions. He earned All-American honors his senior season and set a Wolverines' record with 43 passes defended in his career. Hall is a very talented cornerback with solid coverage skills and should be a top 15 pick on draft day.

6-4 265 pound DE out of Florida
Jevon Kearse
From Wikipedia:
Kearse gives me a sick pass rusher to go along with my sick interior. I'll of course add another solid 4-3 DE in the coming rounds. Kearse is super fast and in his first year in the pros won AFC DPOY.

Quote:
Early years
Kearse was born in Fort Myers, Florida in 1976,[2] the son of Joseph Kearse and Lessie Mae Kearse.
Kearse attended North Fort Myers High School in North Fort Myers,[3] and he played high school football for the North Fort Myers Red Knights. He was over six feet tall and extremely agile, and added muscle without a loss of speed and agility. Kearse began attracting college recruiters under his coach Wade Hummel. He played strong safety and tight end, and in his first season in high school, he returned four kicks for touchdowns.
Following Kearse's senior season in 1994, he was honored as a prep All-American by USA Today. In addition to his demonstrated athletic ability on the playing field, he carried a 3.6 GPA and was a member in the National Honor Society.
[edit] College career
Starting college at 6 feet, 4 inches tall, and 215 pounds, Kearse was projected as either a linebacker or defensive back. He accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Steve Spurrier's Florida Gators football team from 1995 to 1998.[4] He began his college career at safety before shifting to outside linebacker in 1996.[5]
The Gators coaches red-shirted Kearse for the 1995 season, and he watched the Gators' run for the 1995 national championship from the sidelines, before they lost to Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Fiesta Bowl. Soon he was bestowed with his nickname, the "Freak", by Southeastern Conference (SEC) opponents during the Gators' 1996 season. In his debut game against Southwest Louisiana, he accounted for six solo tackles and a sack. That year, the Florida Gators would go on to win the national title, defeating Florida State University 52-20 in the 1997 Sugar Bowl. For his on-field accomplishments, Kearse would make the All-SEC Freshman team. His younger brother, Jermaine, was killed in a drive-by-shooting after the season.
Kearse made the All-SEC team in 1997 for the first time by registering a team high 6.5 sacks during the regular season as well as 38 tackles and 2 forced fumbles. In his 1998 campaign, he once again led the team with 7.5 sacks and also improved his tackles tally to 54. Was named All-SEC again and earned the AP SEC Defensive Player of the Year that season, as well as making the list of several different All-American teams, and was a finalist for the Butkus Award, Lombardi Award, and Chuck Bednarik college defensive player of the year award.
He opted to forgo his final season of eligibility, stating, "I think I've accomplished the four goals I wanted to when I attended the University of Florida: To become a better person, to win a national championship, to get an education and finally to have a chance to play in the NFL." [6]
For his career Kearse racked up 34.5 tackles for loss, ranking 11th on UF's all-time list. Finished his career with 145 total tackles, 16.5 sacks, 6 forced fumbles, 1 interception, 1 recovered fumble, and 19 pass deflections.
