We come from totally different backgrounds. “… The guy playing on the other side of me,, was the No. It’s a huge, huge chip on my shoulder,” Roche said. “It’s part of the reason I’ve had so much success in my college career.
Not bad for a player who was rated as a two-star recruit at New Town by Rivals. In February, The Draft Network had Roche listed as the draft’s No.

The NFL Scouting Combine was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning pro days are vitally important Miami’s pro day is scheduled for March 29. 30 in Mobile, Ala., earning solid reviews for his work during the week and in the game itself. There are a lot of things that factor into it.” “… Sacks aren’t the most important and effective pass rush stat - how many pressures you’re getting, how you’re affecting the quarterback, are you getting strip sacks when you touch the quarterback. The sack count was spread out a lot more,” Roche said. My role on the team was a little bit different.
“People who really understand football, they’ll see that the scheme was a little bit different. Roche didn’t put up quite the same numbers at Miami that he did at Temple, but he downplayed sack totals as the be-all and end-all. Roche considered turning pro after the 2019 season but ultimately decided to prove that he could produce at the Power Five level as a graduate transfer before entering the draft. “That’s one of the things that he used to harp on with me a lot is just bringing somebody with you, trying to bring your teammates with you so they can be just as successful after you leave as they were when you were there.”

“And that’s one of the things that he preaches - approaching every day like you’re a professional and demanding the best out of your team, because he’s big on leadership and how you affect other people. “Just kind of approaching every day as a professional, approaching every day like it’s your last day - not ever getting complacent, not ever getting comfortable with where you are in your current position,” Roche said.

#QUINCY ROCHE HOW TO#
Roche said Reed helped him understand how to establish a professional routine.Įd Reed talks with Quincy Roche and Jaelan Phillips. Reed went on to accumulate 64 interceptions during his 12-year pro career, seventh in NFL history, and won a Super Bowl ring with the Ravens. The following spring, Reed was one of five Hurricanes taken in the first round along with Bryant McKinnie, Jeremy Shockey, Phillip Buchanon and Mike Rumph. Reed, who posted 21 interceptions during his college career, helped lead Miami to the national championship in 2001. Ed Reed, to be able to have him as a coach, to be able to seek advice, to have him as a mentor is priceless.” “Pregame, I used to watch Ray Lewis pump-up videos. You’re the reason why I’m even playing football today - you and Ray Lewis, y’all the reason why I even picked up a football and wanted to ,'” Roche said on Glenn Clark Radio Dec. “… I was like, ‘Man, you don’t even know. In fact, Roche attended Reed’s football camp multiple times as a kid and still has a pair of cleats that were signed by Reed. Roche said he pulled Reed to the side one day to tell him he was from the Baltimore area. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019 and was hired by Miami in early 2020 he works as an adviser to head coach Manny Diaz in his current role. Reed, listed as the program’s “Chief of Staff,” played for the Hurricanes from 1998-2001 and for the Ravens from 2002-2012. Roche, who grew up a Ravens fan, was excited to cross paths with Ed Reed at Miami. He posted 4.5 sacks, 14.5 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 10 games for the Hurricanes this past fall, forming a productive pass-rush duo with Jaelan Phillips for a Miami team that went 8-3. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Roche racked up 26 sacks, 39.5 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles at Temple from 2017-2019, then transferred to Miami for the 2020 season. Former Miami (Fla.) defensive end Quincy Roche, a native of Randallstown, Md., went from unheralded prospect out of New Town High School to a surefire bet to be taken in the 2021 NFL Draft - and along the way, he got some lessons from a childhood hero.
