Dennis Keyes
College : UCLA
Position: Safety

Bio: Dennis along with teamamate Chris Horton make up one of the best safety tandems in the nation. Keyes has great instincts, is a sure tackler, and is very versatile. He is also a standout on special teams.


DraftSeason: What would you say is the strongest aspect of your game?
Dennis: I think it would have to be my ability to read plays, even before they happen, by looking at formations and personnel.

DraftSeason:In what areas do you need to most improve your game?
Dennis: I think I need to make more plays on the ball. I need more INTs.

DraftSeason: We see safties in the NFL who can play virtually any position in the defensive backfield, would you say you are versatile enough to play both safety positions at the next level....how about corner?
Dennis: I think I can. I've played both positions in college as well as nickel so I think I can do it.

DraftSeason: Who was the best player you've ever faced in our career as a Bruin?
Dennis: I've played some good players like Reggie Bush, and DeSean Jackson, but the toughest guy I've played against is Marshawn Lynch from Cal.

DraftSeason: You and fellow safety Chris Horton are quite the tandem both on and off the field, how difficult will it be for you next season without him playing next to you?
Dennis: It's definitely going to be a big adjustment because of the bond we've built. We know each other inside and out so we communicate very well together. I think the toughest adjustment will be building communication with my new teammates.

DraftSeason: You are a beast on special teams, is that an area where you feel you can make an impact early in your professional career?
Dennis: I think special teams is going to be key because it is all about who wants it more. It shows the coaches your desire to not be beat so I think it will definitely help me out at the next level.

DraftSeason: What has been the best on the field moment so far in your career at UCLA?
Dennis: Individually I would say my touchdown against Washington this year. But as a team, it was beating USC last year.

DraftSeason: Finally, if you could compare your style of play to an animal which would it be and why?
Dennis: I would say a tiger because they are very good at stalking thier prey and once they get a hold of it they dont let go.
