Justin Andrew Bethel[1] (born June 17, 1990) is an American football cornerback and special teamer for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Presbyterian Blue Hose and was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL draft.

Early life

Bethel was born in Sumter, South Carolina, and at age 6 he moved with his family to Columbia.[2] He started playing football at age 11 when he was in sixth grade. He attended Blythewood High School[2] where in 2007 he was named Blythewood's Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Defensive Player. He helped the team win the State Championship in 2006.[3]

College career

Bethel did not receive much interest from college football programs, and he planned to study culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University, until his high school coach, former Clemson co-offensive coordinator and USF head coach Jeff Scott, was hired to be a coach for the Presbyterian Blue Hose.[4] Bethel decided to attend Presbyterian, and majored in Business Administration.

Bethel played in 12 games during his freshman season in 2008, amassing 54 tackles and 37 solo tackles. He had two interceptions and two blocked kicks. 2009 was a breakout season for Bethel. He had a team-best 79 tackles during 11 games, 55 of which were solo. He blocked 3 kicks, two in a game against the Gardner–Webb Runnin' Bulldogs. He also forced one fumble and had 4.5 tackles for a loss. For his efforts, he was named to the Big South Conference all-conference second-team defensive squad.[5]

Professional career

Bethel caught the attention of pro scouts with a strong performance in the East-West Shrine Game.[4] He had a YouTube video showing him making a vertical leap onto boxes five feet high. Coming out of Presbyterian, he was projected to be a fifth or sixth round pick. He received an invitation to the NFL Combine and completed all of the required combine drills. His vertical leap of 39+12 in (1,000 mm) was the highest of any defensive player who attended the combine.[6] On March 9, 2012, Bethel participated at Presbyterian's pro day and opted to run the 40, 20, and 10-yard dash while also performing positional drills. He was ranked as the seventh best free safety prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.
