DBU - Simon



That Tharold Simon led the LSU football team with 10 pass deflections last season would appear to be a testament to his playing ability.

Simon says the stat is a mark of frustration, not pride.

“Most of those pass deflections should have been interceptions,” Simon said. “I’m not at all (satisfied). I have to come down with those.”

To turn PBUs into INTs on the stat sheet, Simon has spent the offseason trying to remodel himself into a better player. A Tharold Simon 2.0, if you will.

It started at cornerback way back with Corey Webster, a second-round pick in the 2005 NFL draft by the New York Giants. There were also safeties like LaRon Landry, a first-round pick by the Redskins in 2007, and All-American Craig Steltz, who’s entering his fifth season with the Chicago Bears.

Then there was Patrick Peterson, who won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2010 and was the fifth overall pick of the 2011 NFL draft by the Arizona Cardinals. It continued in 2011 as Morris Claiborne also picked up a Thorpe Award on his way out the door to becoming the No. 6 overall pick of this year’s draft by the Dallas Cowboys


no Jack Hunt?

Nice article, sounds like Simon has been working real hard.



Another thing about Tharold is that not only is he so tall, but he looks like he has incredibly long arms.

That was something that the NFL really liked about Claiborne. He & Trumain Johnson (3rd round pick by the Rams) had the longest arms among cornerbacks at the combine at 33 1/4 in.
