By Austin Gayle
  • Virginia S Quin Blanding, a three-year starter with the Cavaliers, has put together a consistently productive career in Charlottesville, including his 29-stop season in 2016 that led all draft-eligible safeties in the ACC.
  • The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder performed admirably near the line of scrimmage, as he finished with the No. 1 grade in run defense (82.8) among the same group of safeties in 2016.
  • Blanding posted a 17.4 in Combined Tackling Efficiency in 2016, which ranked No. 1 among all draft-eligible safeties with at least 400 snaps against the run.
  • While he is not a feared hitter in the ACC, Blanding only missed 5.6 percent of his tackle attempts last season, ranking No. 4 among all draft-eligible safeties.
