Physical, Productive Memphis Secondary Enforcer
In the 2013 season, Lonnie Ballentine was a tough, highly productive Memphis defensive back who started all 12 games, posted 58 tackles and five pass breakups, and finished his Tigers career with 176 total tackles, three interceptions, 13 pass deflections, and two fumble recoveries. His differentiators were size (6-3, about 220), reliability, and a playmaking edge in the back end; even while dealing with a nagging hamstring injury in 2012, he still played 11 games and kept impacting the defense. If a team wants a physical, steady DB with proven production and resilience, he fits the mold.
