Former LSU linebacker Devin White turned his dreams into reality on Thursday night when he was selected fifth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft to Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

White, the 2018 Butkus Award winner and the first linebacker selected on Thursday night, is projected to make about $29 million dollars with over $19 million of that guaranteed, according to Spotrac.com.

Congrats DW !!! Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Keep falling greedy, keep falling. I pray he falls into the 3rd or 4th. Pay for selling out your depleted backfield in the bowl game

Only CB drafted last night skipped his bowl game too.

voodooidotwo, you were probably all on his balls during the season too. I hate people like you.

Disgeaux Bob•65 months

I wish no ill will towards Greedy but this definitely infers a lack of character when someone knowingly leaves his team shorthanded. Especially in a low risk low impact position. While he may lack physicality with the larger WR's teams look at ALL aspects of a player before investing millions. He is a very good DB but not elite. Balling out in the bowl game may have given his stock a minor boost but the NO SHOW did anything but positively effect his draft status.

Worked so hard, followed his coaches directions and was always loyal as frick to LSU and his state. Deserves every penny of that money.

$19,000,000 is a frickton of money. Happy as hell for Devin, he deserves it

ByrdRBJG7•65 months

Devin is such a cool dude, one of my favorite tigers ever. I think he's the best player in this draft and I hate that Tampa took him, he'll be giving the Saints headaches for 10 years

Where so many jump into a Bentley, Lambo, etc., DW will likely be eyeing a fancy new dually as one of his first sets of wheels......maybe even a top-notch, matching horse trailer.

I know that he & greedy both got monte Carlos that are being customized. No joke.

Greedy also bought a Corvette blacked out from a local dealership.
