ABOUT QUINCY BLACK

Position: Linebacker

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 240 pounds

College: New Mexico

Highlights/Stats:
Led the Lobos in tackles his senior season with 114, 57 solo, and
registered three interceptions. Considered an excellent pass defender with good
closing speed. Is better suited for outside where he can take advantage of his
running ability and avoid heavy contact.

The Verdict:
Fills a need for depth at linebacker after the release of Shelton Quarles,
but considering this draft is not loaded with LB talent, might have been
available to the Bucs on the second day of the draft. Gives the Bucs three
defensive players in their four first-day picks.
