Mays (6-10, 295 lbs • Bemidji, MN) was a solid defender for
the Rattlers’ 3-4 defense for two seasons.
With exceptional height, he has flexibility and uncommon agility for a
frame as well suited for the NBA. With
good feet and hands, he was elusive to blockers during his time at FAMU.
In 2012 he tallied 21 tackles (11UA, 10 ASST), 5.0 tackles
for loss, two sacks and one quarterback hurry.
Against the University of Oklahoma in 2012, he was able to sack Heisman
Trophy candidate Landry Jones in Norman, OK.
Denmark (6-4, 235 lbs • Tallahassee, FL), who transferred to
Florida A&M in connection with a coaching change at the University of
Illinois, possesses exceptional speed.
In 2012, he saw action 10 of the Rattlers’ 11 games,
collecting 54 tackles in the process. He
carded 30 solos and 24 assisted tackles.
He grabbed 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one quarterback hurry and two
pass breakups as a gifted outside linebacker.
Against the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK, he posted six tackles.
In 2013, he was virtually unblockable. He collected 59 tackles, with 38 solos and 21
assists. He also accumulated four sacks
and 12 tackles for loss.
This makes five former FAMU players in camps with NFL
teams. Kevin Elliott played last season
with the Buffalo Bills, Brian Tyms played last season with the Cleveland Browns
and Travis Harvey signed a free agent contract earlier this year with the New
York Giants.
