A special teams standout earlier in his career, Whitner took over full-time strong safety duties as a junior after sharing those chores the previous season. He is another in a long line of standout defensive backs to perform for the Buckeyes in recent years. He has not only proven to be a hard hitter in run support, but also displays the quickness to handle the speedy receivers in man coverage.

 

The words in Bold tell me everything I need to know why Whitner was drafter #1 by Marv... :blink:

Leinart dropping is what f***ed us up. Oakland taking Huff meant that Detroit was going to draft Whittner. The Bills thought Whittner would be available at 14, but with Huff gone, Detroit had Whittner targetted.

 

Whittner was the guy Bills wanted all along.
