As he approaches his third year as a cornerback in the NFL, and as he reflects on his transition from playing wide receiver at the University of Florida, Quinton Dunbar believes the greatest challenge in switching positions had everything to do with his mentality.
“It’s different from catching balls and not really being hard-nosed,” Dunbar told Redskins.com recently during OTAs. “Switching over to the dark side and you’ve got to switch that mentality, attacking people, hitting people, you’ve got to have that aggression.”
After making significant strides in his second year, Dunbar said he’s very comfortable and is ready to help the team in any way he can.
