  Draft Scout by Conference









  Marques Buford didn't need to be sold on playing a different position. The second-year defensive back arrived at Nebraska as a corner and spent much of his first college season there. But the team had a need for safety depth in mid-October after starter Deontai Williams went down with a knee injury. Enter the 5-foot-11 20-year-old, whose ensuing conversation with DBs coach Travis Fisher wasn't exactly extensive. "He said, 'Marques, go to safety," Buford recalled Friday. "I said, 'OK, Coach." Fisher likes Buford's aggression at the back end of the defense, where he can crash down in the run game and deliver blows to receivers in the middle of the field. Former Husker Cam Taylor-Britt - a cornerback now in the NFL - worked closely with Buford every day. The youngster soaked up everything he could behind now-departed safeties in Marquel Dismuke and Williams. "He's been around those older guys," Fisher said, "and Buford's effort is unmatchable." - Lincoln Journal Star
