In the history of its program, Miami has produced elite defensive lineman second to no other program. If there’s a position for which Miami could claim to be the (insert positional group) U, I would think that defensive line would hit that mark as closely as any. Vince Wilfork, Jerome Brown, Calais Campbell, Cortez Kennedy, Ted Hendricks, Russell Maryland, Jerome McDougle, Daniel Stubbs, Greg Mark, and Warren Sapp. That’s football royalty.
In five years, I have to wonder if we’re going to be adding another name to that list: Gregory Rousseau. That’s awfully high praise for a guy who has only played part of one full season, but it doesn’t take a seasoned scout to recognize Rousseau brings a truly special level of physical abilities to the field.
