The third of the Miami Hurricanes’ three edge defenders in the 2021 NFL draft was selected in the sixth round on Saturday.
Quincy Roche went to the Pittsburgh Steelers at pick No. 216, following the selections of Miami defensive ends Jaelan Phillips (Miami Dolphins, No. 18 pick) and Gregory Rousseau (Buffalo Bills, 30) in the first round on Thursday night. He was the second Hurricane chosen on Day 3 of the draft after tight end Brevin Jordan went to the Houston Texans in the fifth round.
Roche moves on to the pros after one standout season at UM that followed a transfer from Temple.
