Historically, Rutgers has had success in landing top-tier defensive backs and developing them for the NFL. Head coach Greg Schiano can count success stories such as Duron Harmon, Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty and Logan Ryan among Rutgers defensive backs who went on to have long, storied careers in the NFL.
