Brock Vereen was a versatile, high-output Gophers DB with NFL-caliber instincts
In the 2013 season, Brock Vereen finished his Minnesota career as a first-team All-Big Ten defensive back, with 59 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1 interception, and 6 pass breakups after totaling 200 tackles and 4 picks over 47 games. He stands out for versatility—Minnesota used him at cornerback and safety—and for a high football IQ that helped him transition spots and still produce. If you want a reliable, tough, assignment-sound defensive back who brings leadership and playoff-level competitiveness, Vereen fit that mold; the big clue is the Bears taking him in the 2014 NFL Draft.
