I guess they forgot about Laron Landry

There's also an historic level of love for the high-profile safeties, USC's bronzed comic book hero, Taylor Mays (the No. 1 senior prospect according to NFL Draft Scout) and Tennessee's Eric Berry (the No. 1 overall prospect according to Mel Kiper), who might be, individually, the highest-rated safeties of the last 20 years -- the highest any safety has gone since 1992 is Sean Taylor at No. 5 in 2004. Even Ed Reed fell to 24th two years earlier. Certainly Mays and Berry will be the most sought-after safety combo: Only two others, Michael Huff and Donte Whitner in 2006 and Eric Turner and Stanley Richard in 1991, have gone in the top-10 in recent memory.
I found this on yahoo sports. Wasnt Landry #6 two years ago? I guess they mean Mays and Berry are the only safties to both go in top ten in the same year.

Landry never got the national press he deserved and he still made it. The guy was/is a beast.

They might have seen B. Jacobs pile drive him like Stevan Ridley used to pile drive his highschool opponents. Once that happens, you're usually not mentioned in the same sentence, paragraph, or article as R. Lott.

Not many safeties can lay out Brandon Jacobs, when Brandon is running downhill with a full steam of head, plus Landry has a little problem being over aggressive so that will make you look stupid trying to tackle a monster back like Jacobs

I really like L.L., and I like your recent posts, this no exception. Just a cautionary comment, based upon viewing a player's whole life span. I've seen Dalton Hilliard make R. Lott look 1/2 as bad, for what it's worth. If it happens now, it's just that everyone sees it.

the media's anti-LSU agenda continues

for all the press that goes on about mays and berry,they will be pick in the top ten if they also run a 4.35 forty yard dash at the combine/pro-day.

If Mays runs a 4.35 in the 40 laser times at 235 lbs. then that is absolutely freakish speed. He would be getting in borderline LB size running like a NFL caliber CB.
Berry will run sub 4.4.
I think Berry is a much better player, but Mays could potentially go higher in the draft due to his ability to jump off the page during workouts.

i do too think berry is a better safety.he also played corner when he got to tenn.,berry is a better cover guy than mays also. and what also that is going to help berry is having monte kiffin next year in school.

i think this might be a case of poor writing rather than a lack of knowledge. he seems to be saying that only twice in recent memory have a pair of safeties gone in the top 10 in the same year. either way, someone isn't doing their job well.

You must not have watched Lott at all. I saw him get run over before. Not many people have enough balls to stand in front of B. Jacobs and take a hit like that. The guy is a steamroller and LL stood up, took the hit, and helped assist in the tackle. What a terrible football player for taking on the biggest bruising RB in the league.

L.L. is a great player. I was just throwing out a far-fetched theory on why someone wouldn't acknowledge that fact, mostly in jest.
