Don't think Godchaux can be classified as a sleeper considering he's been starting since his true freshman year and has played very well. I do think he will thrive in a 3-4 as a DE though. Natural fit there.

I'm going with Battle. Sucks that he's out for spring recovering from surgery, but I think he becomes an important player for us. Adams is awesome and Jefferson is solid, though inconsistent, but they have similar skillsets and neither thrive in pass coverage. Both are good around the LOS and around the ball causing havoc ane being disruptive. Jefferson is like a poor mans Adams, solid but just not as good as Adams is. But neither are great as a single high safety is pass coverage. And that's where Battle did pretty well last year. He's like a center fielder out there with the range to cover sideline to sideline. Think he complements Adams (and RJ) really well.

Plus, having Adams as the single high safety doesn't play to his strengths, and Aranda knows how to play to his players strengths so I don't think he will put Adams back there that much. And Battle can be that guy for us as a rangy FS back there. Wish he wasn't hurt though, because I thought he was gonna stake his claim next to Adams during the spring. But he will have to do that once he gets back.

And look out for the freshman... White, Divinity, Lawrence, Logan, Alexander, Thornton, Greedy Williams, Lewis, Roddy, Martin, and Andre Anthony. All have the potential / ability to get in the rotation and see some PT. And shou so help our special teams out a lot. And I think Andre Anthony surprises a lot of people.

My money is on the pwo lb/de from West Monroe, Layton Garnett. Talk about a long shot right now, but he overcame 3 ankle injuries, having a nerve removed, and declined committable scholies to come here. Dude has no choice but to bust arse to see the field. I think he will.

Gets my vote - we've had some good LBs in the last few years but White may turn out to be a big dominate guy that we haven't had in a long time.

i don't know if arden key is a "sleeper"

but i think he is going to blow the frick up.

That dud woudl have had like 8 sacks last yea if he wasn't held by the face mask 3-4 times a game. He can really get around the edge.
