Everything I've been reading on him from draft analysts have been very much underselling his value (at least so I believe). So this begs the question. Why isn't he getting more first round and top corner hype? What are some of the negatives on him besides maybe height which I don't even think is an issue since he's 5'11

Tre white is the least talked about DB in DBU history is seems. Never gets enough recognition. He should win the Thorpe award but they will give it to the Michigan kid because he's more popular

He has some bad tape out there from last year and one or two slip ups this year. There is also questions on if he is a nickel guy or a lockdown outside guy.

I still think he should be late first round and is fit for today's NFL.

Being related to Mo Claiborne probably doesn't help.

There's questions about whether he is physical enough to play on an island against NFL receivers. No team is drafting him as a nickel corner in the first round if that's how they view him.

I think he is solid but not the "Lockdown" type of CB most people in here think he is.

White played great this year. Outperformed what I think were most people's expectations. I don't understand how he hasn't been getting more hype. He's the best true cover corner we've had since Claiborne.

Well for one, he's one of the top corners. Two, he played a lot of nickel (which is valuable). Three, he has shown to be a good punt returner. Four, overall good character.

He needs to kill that combine.

Not saying he doesn't deserve it but does he have his own highlight video?

I love Tre as much as anyone, but he's had some pretty bad plays over the course, on defense and as a PR. And that PR TD he had would have been a -15 yard return in the NFL. I'm purely speaking objectively with no emotion involved, I really think Tre is limited in what he can do physically on the field. But he's the leader and he's good at that, I'm glad the underclassmen are under him, but what happens when he's suddenly the rookie on the field? I honestly don't see that going well tbh. And I really, really, REALLY hope I'm wrong because if anyone deserves to be successful in the league it's him. But he's been burned a few times and had some pretty stupid moments returning punts. You can't overlook that

He's a finalist for the Thorpe and was a 1st team All-SEC DB. Seems like pretty good recognition to me

He has made lots of big plays and had a strong finish, which should set TreDavious up to be a late first or early 2nd round pick in the NFL draft.

He's way better than former LSU DB Jalen Collins and he damn near went first round. Tredavious is a first rounder in my book.

I cannot imagine any NFL GM who wants less stress in his life would watch film of his questionable decisions and outright blunders when fielding punts and say "there's a guy I want returning punts on my team!"....

TW back for a punt was always good for a swig of Pepto-Bismol, maybe a half-Xanax.

can't really compare the two. Collins had great measurables, which is why he was drafted where he was, but it never translated to elite play in college and hasn't to this point in the NFL either. But he ran a sub 4.5 40 in the combine, with a 36 inch vertical and he is 6'1" 203 with long arms. He was drafted on potential.
