Asante Samuel Jr, CB, Florida State - Led team in INTs; Opted out of the 2020 season after eight games. One thing he didn't get from his father was his tackling, where he's better. Son of an NFL veteran cornerback who had many great moments against the Cowboys.

Javon Holland, Safety, Oregon - Lined up as a split-safety and in the slot. Not the most athletic guy on the field, but an extremely fundamental player. 9 int and 11 PBU's.
