Scouts are impressed by Rousseau’s length at 6’6, his speed and his motor on the defensive line. Rousseau is primarily a defensive end that has played tackle on passing downs and was a safety and wide receiver in high school. At 6’6 260 pounds, Rosseau’s freakish athleticism has NFL teams intrigued.

TE Brevin Jordan 21st

Jordan is the other player that The Draft Network projects as a first-round pick in 2021. The rising junior TE is the 21st ranked player. Jordan is not likely to slip below the second round if he declares for the 2021 NFL Draft as expected. Staying healthy has been an issue for Jordan during his first two years at Miami.

Jordan missed three games in 2019 and one during his freshman year in 2018. When healthy, Jordan has been a productive player for Miami. In two seasons the rising junior has caught 67 passes for 782 yards and six touchdowns. If Jordan can stay healthy in 2020 he should post big numbers in the new Miami offense.

DE Quincy Roche 36th

Roche, Rousseau and Jaelan Phillips on the edge is expected to give the Miami football team one of the best pass rushes in the country. Roche transferred to Miami to play in the more prestigious ACC than he played in with Temple in the American Athletic Conference. Roche was named the AAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2019.
