Mathieu was great in the scheme but you couldn't leave him on an island like Peterson. He shut down Green and Jones in man coverage

While PP was more atheltic TM was a great cover corner at lsu. He was on an island a bunch in the slot. The slot is a far harder man coverage position to guard. Even the one game that dumb gumps say exposed TM7 (1-9-12) he gave up 4 catches for 2 1st downs and 0 tds.
He was all over his man. Jist great throws by AJ.

TM7's change of direction and acceleration was off the charts. While he wasnt a 4.3 player he got to top speed very quickly.
You can make it along way playing safety in the nfl with elite change of direction and elite acceleration.

Okay with the 5 but not the order. Honey Badger made plays on the field no one has ever done game after game. Best college player I have ever seen.
You have to admit, he made watching the tigers so much more fun, fully expecting highlight reel moments in every game. LF7 gives us that on offense this year. I wonder who will be our next honey badger on defense? Adams, Smith, ...?

how can you have a GOAT list without a Demetrius Hookfin mention?

my favorite thing about danny McCray- in the red zone, the ball always went to whomever McCray was "covering". my favorite of all time was seeing McCray repeatedly lined up opposite percy harvin in the 08 game at gainsville.
