No.2 Marquis Haynes, DE

Marquis Haynes played defensive end for Ole Miss football from 2014 thru 2017 and was almost unstoppable coming off the edge. Out of Marquis was always in the backfield and when he wasn’t wrapping up the QB for a sack he was creating chaos for opposing offenses. There is no doubt about Haynes ability as a defensive end and he showed on the field and also the Ole Miss record books.

Marquis finished his college career at Ole Miss with 172 total tackles with 47.5 TFL and 32 sacks. Haynes also had 12 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries and 1 INT while playing as a Rebel. Haynes 32 career sacks is 1st on the All-time list for career sacks and Haynes 10 sacks in 2015 is T-1st on the All-time single season sack list. Haynes was selected in the 4th round as the 136th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. Haynes begins his rookie season this fall.
