Mike Detillier on LSU's DB signees and new and old coaches

That is an impressive group of safeties. Very talented group of three. As good a group as you will find any team bring in for 2017.

JaCoby Stevens is special. He is a lot like Jamal Adams. Excellent in run defense and he can match up coverage wise. He is so smart and he understands this game at another level. He is physically gifted, but it is his instincts and smarts that stick out to me.

Grant Delpit is built along the lines of Eric Reid. Long. He’s a lean cover free safety with excellent range and he’s a ballhawk. He reads the eyes of a quarterback so well.

Todd Harris is the intimidator. Tough, tough guy. Flies up the seam in run support and he is fearless. Really stout open-field tackler. He will need some work as a cover guy, technically, and with his foot work, but he should help immediately on special teams.

Stevens is the star here, but it’s a terrific threesome.

At the Senior Bowl, I can’t tell you how many folks asked about the decline in developing the talent level at wide receiver at LSU.
