LB: Devin White, LSU
The array of talent on LSU's defense is impressive to say the least. Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda has plenty of pieces to work with, but having a guy like the 6-foot-1, 240-pound White roaming all over the field and making plays opens up everything for the Tigers. White, a junior, had 13 total tackles in the win over Georgia on Saturday and leads LSU with 66 total tackles, including seven for loss. He's one of the most devastating tacklers in college football.

S: Grant Delpit, LSU
There's a distinct LSU flavor to our midseason All-America defense and with good reason. The 6-foot-3, 203-pound Delpit is having a huge sophomore season. He's an enforcer as a tackler with 44 total tackles to rank second on LSU's team, including 7.5 tackles for loss. He's also intercepted three passes, registered four quarterback hurries and forced a fumble. Some on the Bayou are already comparing him to former LSU great Jamal Adams.

CB: Greedy Williams, LSU
LSU likes to refer to itself as DBU, which a few other schools around the country might not necessarily agree with, but few people around college football would disagree that Williams is one of the best cornerbacks in the country and has been for two years now. The 6-foot-3, 184-pound junior has great length for a cornerback and leads the SEC in completion percentage allowed. He hasn't given up a touchdown all season, and the way he smothered Ole Miss' D.K. Metcalf, a future pro, was a textbook lockdown-cornerback performance.

Greedy virtually shut down half the field on Saturday.

I'll say it. Delpit is better than Jamal.

Might surprise some people, but PFF has Fulton graded higher than Greedy over the course of this season. Fulton has just really gotten a ton better from the first few games. Greedy has been pretty consistent but hasn't had that "wow" game like Fulton just had fro ma grade standpoint.

I’d argue that he showed that “wow” game against both auburn and ole miss

That happens when QBs just refuse to throw at him.
Exactly.
The best CBs often seem like ghosts on the field because it's hard to make a play on balls thrown 30 yards from you.

No one will throw at him after his ‘message to all QBs’ video.

Fulton's "wow" game wouldn't have been so "wow" if Fromm didn't miss his WR being wide open in the EZ after he embarrassed Fulton right before their retarded fake FG.
I know he still had a solid game, but he would have not been graded as high if Fromm looks to his left on that play.

Greedy has had his share of penalties and catches given up this year, not much, but it's not like QBs are refusing to throw at him.
In fact, they threw at Greedy 7 times on Saturday vs. only 3 vs. Fulton. 2 catches against Greedy with 1 PI and 1 PBU vs. 0 catches and 0 PI with an INT against Fulton (hence Fulton's crazy good grade). Fulton got even extra points for making such a spectacular play on the ball, ie intercepted a ball that shouldn't have been intercepted.

Things like this get taken into account in their grading system. If the DB is beaten, it's a negative grade regardless of the outcome.
Keep in mind Greedy got beat deep a few times too. 1 overthrow from Fromm early on which was a missed TD.
