∙ CORNERBACKS: Clarence Williams, 22, Washington State, 6 ft. 2 in., 196 Ibs., and Roy Jefferson, 21, Utah, 6 ft., 190 Ibs. The firemen of pro defense, cornerbacks must be able to barrel in and plug a hole, or wheel and chase down pass receivers. Williams runs the 100 in 9.6, has "great quickness and gets the jump on the ball in pass defense." The book on Jefferson: "Real tough, fast, and loves to hit."

∙ SAFETYMEN: George Donnelly, 22, Illinois, 6 ft. 3 in., 200 Ibs., and Gerry Bussell, 21, Georgia Tech, 6 ft., 184 Ibs. Regarded by some scouts as the country's best defensive college back, Donnelly "has tremendous range when the ball is in the air. His gliding motion fools everyone." There are only a few things the pros need to know about Bussell: so far this season he has broken up some 25 pass plays, engineered three interceptions and averaged 41.3 yds. running them back.
