The New York Giants claimed rookie pass rusher Quincy Roche after the Pittsburgh Steelers waived him in late August. The former Temple Owl and Miami Hurricane, was a productive collegiate edge player who had an impressive senior season with the Hurricanes.
In his lone season with the Hurricanes, Roche had 36 pressures and six sacks. According to Pro Football Focus, while playing lesser competition at Temple in the three previous years, he amassed 139 pressures and 26 sacks.
Many speculated that Roche might be a Day 2 selection during the pre-draft process, but he fell to pick 217 in the sixth round.
