"The biggest pluses for Schwartz – a unit that has some talent, including a defensive line that featured three Pro Bowlers (end Mario Williams, tackles Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus) in this past Sunday’s annual all-star showcase and a back-end led by three-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd. Schwartz also said he’s thrilled to get the chance to work with defensive backs Stephon Gilmore and Leodis McKelvin, cornerbacks he’s admired from afar – going back to their college days."
