Daquan Romero was a steady, high-motor Virginia linebacker with playmaking flashes
In the 2014 season, Daquan Romero started all 12 games for Virginia and finished No. 3 on the team with 86 tackles, plus 8.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, and his first career interception[1][15]. His profile points to a tough, instinctive outside linebacker who could stay on the field, handle volume, and make disruptive plays behind the line rather than just rack up clean-up tackles[1][9]. A former three-time all-Group AAA high school selection with a history of hamstring issues early in his career, he brought a competitive edge and some versatility that coaches clearly trusted[6][13].
