The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected LSU linebacker Devin White with the 5th overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

White becomes the highest-drafted linebacker in LSU history, passing Eric Hill who was No. 10 overall pick by the Phoenix Cardinals in 1989.

Kendell Beckwith and Kevin Minter are there. They just traded Kwon. They seem to like LSU linebackers.

Such bullcrap. Seems like all the best LSU players lately go to saints division rivals. Too bad he’ll never have team success over there...
