LSU obviously has a lot of overall talent on defense, but this is about the freakish talent.

Anthony Johnson has such an unusual combination of size, strength and quickness that his nickname is Freak
Tyrann Mathieu has preternatural quickness. I've never seen a ballplayer with that much physical quickness combined with mental quickness.
Barkevious Mingo is 6'5" 240 lbs with the speed of a safety.
There are other players on the D who are just as good as these guys, but these stand out for their unusual combination of talents.

I think the more impressive fact is the depth on Defense. If we lost someone at any position we have replacements across the board.

Only two people I see us losing that really "hurts" us. Is Sam Montgomery or Ryan Baker.

I mean we lost Nevis, Kelvin, and Peterson from last year and our defense is actually better.

Think if we had SEC caliber linebackers....
