TM7 is not the imposing , pure athlete that PP7 was


I think coaches will gameplan around him like they did with PP7

TM7 will have at least 1 PR for a TD this season

He's still got a lot of time to improve on his coverage skills before the draft so I think he might be able to make a living at corner in the NFL.

True. And im not at all saying that he isnt good at CB or he wont be able to play CB in the NFL. I just think he would be more effective when you put him on the ball. He is a ball hawking, big hitting, turnover freak.

Honey Badger is going to be one of the best DB's in LSU history. I do not know if he has the size to cover guys in the NFL. He might be a great nickle back? He is fast with an amazing nose for the ball, but the NFL guys are just so big.
Remember how Chris Jackson dominated college B-ball in the late 80's. He was the best Tiger since Pistol Pete, but he was only an average pro. Just to short for a shooting guard. I see #7 taking the same path.

TM7 is better than Eric Berry when EB was at UT.

He forces the other team to make costly mistake at inopportune times.

and he's only a true sophomore.

looking forward to seeing him get even better this year.

I think his name is Cortland Innegan, had his name changed after Andre Johnson beat the "F" out of him

Did u just compare basketball to football? Not a good example. There are short corners in the league. Here is an article from 2006.

he might be undersized for the NFL. But with good tackling technique you don't have to knock the hell out of someone to get the job done. He's always in the right spot, you can't teach that.

I don't mean to make it a size comparison, but just to say you can dominate college ball and still not quite make it in the pros. Don't get me wrong..I am the biggest Honey Badger fan out there. I fell in love with him game one last year. I just have rational concerns about his pro future. I will also add...it sure seems that NFL receivers have gotten 2-3 inches taller in the last 5 years.
