Last season he had 111 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss. Several NFL mock drafts have Cash going in the 1st round. I read one NFL draft site that compared Cash to Ed Reed. Wow that’s high praise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2) Quin Blanding, Virginia<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quin Blanding was a 5 star recruit for the Virginia Cavaliers, and he’s been every bit as good as advertised. Blanding is only a sophomore, and has a great chance to top this list next year. He set a Virginia freshman record with 123 tackles in 2014 and was named ACC Defensive Rookie of the year. If Blanding was this good as a freshman, what does he do with a year under his belt?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3) Nate Andrews, Florida State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Playing next to Jalen Ramsey for large portions of the season, can over-shadow any player, but make no mistake safety Nate Andrews is a very good player. Last season he 93 tackles, with 3 interceptions. He has good range. Some NFL Draft projections have him going in the 1st or 2nd round.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4)\u00a0<strong>Deon Bush, Miami<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Deon Bush was a freshman All-American in 2012, but injuries during the course of his career have kept him from reaching his potential. He is physical safety that forced 5 fumbles last season. If he can stay healthy, he could find himself as a 2nd or 3rd round NFL pick. It all comes down to his health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5) Jamal Golden, Georgia Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The multi-talented Jamal Golden was one of the ACC’s best safeties last season. He had 61 tackles, and had 4 interceptions. He was a 3rd Team All-ACC player in 2014, and is considered a NFL prospect, that I’ve seen go in mock drafts anywhere from the 4th-7th round. Golden versatility also makes him one of the better kick returners in the ACC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Become a fan of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theACC\">ACC on Facebook\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/theacc\">follow the ACC on Twitter.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<br>\n<center>\n\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Bottom_Post -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n data-ad-slot=\"1445137322\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<br>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Horizontal_6 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1227879969298088\"\n data-ad-slot=\"4619304738\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n<\/center>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we near the end of our players rankings, we are moving on to safeties.
