Jamal Adams or Laron Landry

Not old enough to have seen Casanova

But for one season - Grant Delpits sophomore year he was ridiculous. That ankle injury in his junior year made a lot of people forget how dominant he truly was

Yeah you have to mention Delpit because that year he was unreal. Eric Reid was consistently good for three years. Adams was unreal and Landry was great. Steltz put up some incredible numbers.

Really hard to rank the Safeties but Adams was the best I ever saw.

Casanova was a corner or rather not a traditional safety. He would always cover the best Wr.

As someone who played safety in high school and college, I'm so glad this was stated. Honestly, Laron Landry was drastically overrated as good as he was (missing tackles and being out of position in pass covereage). I put Adams, Delpit and Steltz over Landry (while at LSU).

But Delpit's soph season was just incredible. To have someone that good in pass defense and run support is rare. Adams is the only one I'd say plainly better because he did it over multiple seasons. Chad Jones and Steltz are what and what, people forget how great Steltz was at LSU. Then I'd go Landry and the rest.

1.Adams
2.Delpit
3A. Jones
3B. Steltz
5. Landry

Tyrann played a different position, but needs to be mentioned in any db conversation just because he is the greatest defensive player to ever play at LSU.
