With the 68th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Falcons selected Wisconsin safety Dezmen Southward .
He's 6-feet and 211 pounds with long arms, brute strength and excellent speed (4.38 in the 40-yard dash). Southward only started playing football as a high school senior but played a school-record 54 games at Wisconsin, impressive considering he's a violent tackler.
He should begin his career as a special teamer but could compete for snaps at safety.
