re: Donte Jackson 4.32

Donte is a victim of 2 big plays that cost LSU games. Outside of the plays against Florida and Notre Dame, he's been a good corner. I've seen Tre White give up big plays, as well as Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Matthieu. All corners get beat, it's football. He might've given up 2 or 3 tds all season.

Why do our "fans" feel the need to shite on our players so much? in every combine thread made, within the first few post, someone starts shitting on them. 

Does it make y'all feel better about your shitty lives?

1. because we have the most football ignorant fans in all of cfb.(had some dumbass 2 weeks ago talk about DJ's hips)
2. they only pay attention to lsu so when DJ gets burned for a td they act like every other great db doesnt get burned just as much.
3. no fanbase in any sport is more willing to shite on its own accomplishments and players like lsu fans.

DJ was an all sec cb ,was named sporting news AA ,and is considerd a 1st round lock and we have people shitting on him because he gave up 2 noticeable tds in 3 years.

only knowledgeable fans bring up his open field tackling( 4th on the team in solo tackles in both 2016&2017),his ability to play inside cb or outside cb, or that fact that he was very good cb that on 90% of the games locked his man the frick down.

do you really think 1st round lock?

He is not the best cover corner in the draft but has assets that can lead to some potential.

Dang, that's flying! But then I noticed there was a fella that ean a 4.22 last year (John Ross)

Yeah, I was expecting Donte to get in the 4.2's, oh well, I guess we'll have to wait until LSU pro day.

We would've lost the Florida game if it weren't for his passes defended

Same for Auburn. He made like 4-5 stops on the last two drives they had.

he's a smallish CB that needed to get up to 190 pounds this year and didn't do that. I guess he thought he would hurt his speed, 

---

even if he lost a step he'd still be faster than the average 40 time for CBs in the nfl.
If DJ wants to have a sustained nfl career, he has to put on, at the very least, 10-15 lbs of muscle or those
6'2-6'5 wr mutants will eat him up.

Donte is solidly a 2nd round pick. His size keeps him out the 1st round. Even though he was a good tackler in college he would get run over in the pros. Plus going to be tough for him to fight bigger stronger NFL receivers for the ball.

My memory must be fading but I recall Speedy Noil caught a TD over him at A&M in '14? Treadwell (OM) was the only WR I ever recall Tre having problems with.

Tre was great. Hoping Donte follows in his footsteps.

I can go back to the Arkansas game in '16 when Tre White had the guy covered on the sideline and looked backed to the quarterback and the guy kept running and beat him deep for a td. The point of my post was for those who say Donte isn't a good corner. Outside of a few plays, he's been really good @LSU.
