Who's Quincy Black?


If you haven't heard the name Quincy Black by now, you may want to keep tabs on the New Mexico linebacker as April's NFL draft draws closer.

Black turned some heads at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis when he ran a 4.5 40 yard dash, which is outstandingly good for a linebacker.

Joe Arrigo of PackerChatters.com has the Packers drafting Black in the seventh round of the draft, which would be a great pickup that late in the draft. The question is, will Black last until the seventh?

Scott Wright of Draft Countdown says of Black, "An outstanding athlete...Has great timed speed...Is fluid and does a tremendous job in coverage...Has good range and a burst to close in pursuit...Has very good instincts and seems to always be around the ball...Has a great motor...Ball skills are above average...Great blitzer...Smart with solid intangibles...Still has upside."
