Best football player ive seen at LSU. Might not of been the best CB, or the best DB. But was the best pure football player ive ever seen. He made plays i didnt even know you could make in football

And its awesome seeing him do great at the next level. Kiko Alonso is awesome too and if he wins DROY he deserves it. But I think Tyrann has done just as well at Alonso has this year. Only thing is that the news and media love Alonso while most of the major media outlets and analysts all said TM wouldnt be great at the next level and that hes too small and wont make the plays. And since he has done just that, none of them want to go back on what they said during the combine / draft time so he doesnt really get the national media love that Alonso does.

When Peterson and Claiborne left for the NFL, Tyrann became the leader of the Tigers' secondary as a sophomore. His ball-hawking skills and quickness made him a star.

Great article, but the author should have probably done some better fact checking.

AGREE!! Kid made plays that we may never see again. Sad we did not get to enjoy seeing him play more in purple/gold, but he made mistakes like we all do.

HELLO PEOPLE, smoking weed is NOT a performance enhancing drug, nor does it = murdering a town of children! The citizens in Colorado and other states are finally getting the facts straight. It's time other states do the same!

Ever had close contact with some "children" who regularly smoke weed? and ... say ... try to count the change due you at the cash register? It is NOT harmless and the effects don't wear off in a night like a hangover does. And people who regularly indulge tend to move on to other, harder stuff along with their peer group, then other harder stuff...

If you have children or if you think you might, do you want them regularly doing that? But be an enabler if you like ... because.. uh.. like, you know... it's far out man ... uh ... heh heh heh, like, you-know-what-I-mean dude ?

This. I seriously thought he was all hype, and the benefactor of a couple of lucky bounces. Until it happened again. And again. And again.

Crazy set of skills.

Glad he's been able to overcome the efforts of police, do-gooder coaches, and general idiotic societal attitudes in their efforts to destroy his career.
