High praise from NFL Scout for Devin White
Posted on 5/7/18 at 12:57 pm
Posted on 5/7/18 at 12:57 pm
Said he made be the best he has ever scouted and could be the next Ray Lewis.
"This kid could end up being similar to Ray Lewis. I'd take White over any of the linebackers this year. He's unbelievable. Unless he gets hurt or completely shuts it down to protect himself, he'll be the first linebacker drafted next year. He's the complete package. Great character. He's the signal caller of the defense with a super football IQ. He's big, sturdy, and stout enough for Mike - middle linebacker-. Swift enough for Will - weakside linebacker -, great athlete and coverage instincts. Stacks up the stat boxes, all of them. He's fast, an explosive tackler, and elite reactionary quickness.
"Right now, he's among the best, and maybe the best, I've scouted. Better athlete and versatility than [Dont'a] Hightower. More explosive, violent, and bigger than C.J. Mosley; same level of instincts. Better than Jerod Mayo at Tennessee. Bigger than Jonathan Vilma while being more violent and instinctive than D.J. Williams, same kind of freak athlete explosiveness-wise. Thumper like Sean Weatherspoon. Basically, [White is] a bigger version of Roquan Smith in the 240-250-pound range. He's FUN to watch. Unbelievable stamina and motor. He could be the best linebacker ever to come out of LSU."

This kid made a decision that will allow him to start his NFL career a few million dollars richer by switching to LB.

For his attitude, leadership, and play on the field, he deserves every bit of that lofty praise.

Completely agree. Devin is a monster. He is on the same level as Patrick Willis to me.
Posted on 5/7/18 at 1:13 pm to steamengineRR
He also likes riding horses.

Devin is due a lot of credit for having the maturity to make the call to play LB, even before ever setting foot on campus. His attitude even then was "I will play where ever the team needs me."
Even this year, he will probably be the best RB on the roster, but will get no carries.

Well played

How was this guy not on any AP All American list after last year?

Yeah. Have to love players like him. Part of me selfishly wants to see him run the football though.

With this DL this Defense and Devin should be fun to watch. Hoping the offense can do something though.

Have they put out preseason all Americans yet?
Posted on 5/7/18 at 1:21 pm to steamengineRR
Defense is going to be stacked. Greedy also being called best at his position too.

Yep. Every one of them. Admins don’t care about content, so neither do I

He has all the physical skills in the world (except maybe height), but this is what sets him apart. He's seems to never get tired. He chases guys all over the field...all game long and seems to be just as explosive in the 4th quarter as he is in the 1st. LSU has had several good LB's over the years, but I can't remember anyone faster once they made up their mind where to go. He flies through the LOS like he was shot out of a cannon

I hope he comes out hungrier then ever after Quentin Nelson took him to school in the bowl game

It'll take a lot to be better than Michael Brooks

Dude I’m just trying to fit in
Wanna have a 15 page debate about the lack of production from our offense between 2009-2015?

JJ was better than Lee.

For discussion: as LSU appears to lack a big back capable of muscling out first downs and TD's in short yardage situations, and as Patrick Queen had a big spring leading the coaches to believe he could be an adequate option spelling White at the Rover, is there an opportunity to use White as the short yardage back this fall?
