Cornell’s converted QB turned high-impact safety
Quinn was a tone-setting defensive back at Cornell, and in the 2010 season he finished second on the team with 92 tackles while adding 3.5 tackles for loss, a sack, an interception, two fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, and a blocked kick[1]. That production matches the scouting note that he was a converted quarterback who developed into an excellent safety, which usually signals good instincts, toughness, and a nose for the ball[1]. He also earned an FCS Scout Bowl All-American invitation as a senior, a nice clue that coaches valued his all-around impact and leadership[2][3].
