Miami LB Shaquille Quarterman was described as a “lineal, downhill thumper” according to NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein.
Quarterman (6'0/234) was one of Miami’s most dependable players during his four seasons in Coral Gables, not missing a single start. Yet despite that dependability and his on-field production, Zierlein projects him to be a backup middle linebacker at the next level. “Quarterman is durable and dependable in the middle of the defense, but he lacks NFL range and has below-average short-area agility and quickness as open-field tackler,” Zierlein wrote about Quarterman, who is projected to be a Day 3 draft pick.
