Robert Quinn Up To Speed In Second NFL Season

Posted Sep 13, 2012
A year and one game into his NFL career it’s still too early to tell whether Robert Quinn will live up to his potential, but the pass-rushing ability he showcased at UNC – in 2009 he registered 11 sacks in 13 games – still seems to be present. Quinn finished his rookie season with five sacks and three blocked punts, proving to be a force on defense and special teams. (CBS St. Louis)
