16. Tracy Howard | CB | Miami Hurricanes
2014 snaps: 391
2014 PFF rating: 76.0
Howard was provided with greater than 30 snaps in only six games last season, but the graduation of Ladarius Gunter to the Green Bay Packers allows the senior the chance he needs to put his talents on display. Perhaps a 75.8 PFF coverage and 78.6 run defense rating leaves you unconvinced, but consider that Howard impressively allowed a lower yards/coverage snap (0.85) than Quinten Rollins, Trae Waynes, and Marcus Peters last season.
you'll recognize #24 also
EDIT: I won't start a new thread but they also picked us to finish 6th in the Coastal

6. Miami (FL) Hurricanes
Offensive snaps lost: 4,269 (44.4 percent)
Defensive snaps lost: 3,928 (37.5 percent)
It promises to be a seminal season for Al Golden’s tenure at Miami. After 7-5 and 9-4 seasons in 2012 and 2013, respectively, the Hurricanes slumped to 6-7 in 2014, and have lost a number of key players since. Quarterback Brad Kaaya flashed potential on his way to an average 80.56 PFF QB rating as a freshman, much more is expected from him in his second season. However, he must do that without his left tackle and top three targets from a year ago, including dynamic running back Duke Johnson. Gus Edwards (74.2) and Joseph Yearby (70.8) are vying to replace Johnson, but it’s a tall order. Defensively, safety Deon Bush (81) is a stand out, but the team struggled to get to the passer last season and have lost two of their top pass rushers. The most productive returning edge rusher, Tyriq McCord, had just three sacks and 24 total pressures in 2014.
