Oct. 17--Information for this report was obtained from NFL scouts.
Glover Quin is in his seventh season in the NFL and third with the Lions. The 6-foot, 207-pound free safety is tied with the Seahawks' Richard Sherman and the Browns' Tashaun Gipson for the most interceptions since 2013 with 12, and already has two this season.
Quin, who has missed only one game in his career, was selected to the Pro Bowl last year for the first time. He's second on the defense with 22 solo tackles.
"Last year, he was strong in the middle of the field with excellent ball skills," one scout said. "He has good route identification and will break downfield on the ball. But the ball was coming out a lot quicker last season with the defensive line they used to have. They were aggressive with what they did coverage-wise and now they're average to below average up front and it has changed a lot.
"Quin is the kind of free safety a lot of teams will look at and say, 'I'd like that guy on my team.' He's not Earl Thomas or the next Ed Reed but he has really solid range and instincts as well as ball skills. I don't know that he has elite coverage skills, but he's good enough that you can put him over the slot when you need to and he'll hold his own. He's not a great tackler in the open field."
