Reliable USF safety with a knack for timely plays
In the 2013 season, Mark Joyce was a returning starting safety for South Florida, coming off a 2012 campaign in which he made 74 tackles and added an interception and four pass breakups. He’s been praised for consistency, toughness, and leadership, with USF’s coaching staff even giving him the team’s “Crunch Award” and “Iron Bull” recognition. The knock? NFL evaluators noted his coverage can be inconsistent, but his effort, experience, and steady presence make him a smart fit for a team needing a physical, dependable defensive back.
