Glover Quin came out of the University of New Mexico, where he was drafted in the Fourth Round in 2009 by the Houston Texans.  In the four years he was there, he played at various positions (Left Cornerback, Strong Safety, Free Safety), and while he did well, he did not take the gridiron by storm.

Eric Berry played his college ball at Tennessee, where he was one of the most prolific Defensive Backs in school history.  With the Volunteers, Berry was a two-time Consensus All-American and was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, so it was little wonder that Berry was the first Defensive Back taken in the 2010 Draft.

One of the best offensive skill players in Boise State history, Running Back, Doug Williams, was taken late in the First Round (31^stOverall) in 2012 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and for a time, it looked like they had a mega-star on their hands.

Corey Graham had a long career where he was primarily listed as a Defensive Back, but he was named to the Pro Bowl in 2011 as a Special Teams Player.
