Yea, Landon's issue in coverage isn't speed. As a recruit he was a 4.4 guy. I'm sure he has slowed a bit due to added bulk, but he's not slow.

I think he goes around 15-19.

I wouldn't go that far, but he does need some work on his coverage and decision making in the secondary. He is a helluva run stopper, and has the tools to be great in coverage, he just needs to learn how to make the right first move.

First rounder and could be the first S taken....at least in the top 3.

He was the best defensive player for Alabama, IMO.

#7 in a passing league? Someone is going to make a very stupid decision on draft day.
An LSU fan insinuating stupidity toward an NFL draft executive....that's priceless!

Landon Collins is slower than Nick Marshall. If you doubt this, just go back and watch the 2013 Iron Bowl.

Well Marshall runs a 4.3, so I wouldn't doubt it.

And that's why Marshall has any chance in the NFl...it'll be as a DB.

he is slower than Corey Grant too. Cant wait to see Grant's 40 time if he gets invited to the combine.

I just hope none of the teams talk to any LSU fans. I'd hate for it to get out that he secretly sucks.

Just not sure how Landon will pan out in the NFL. I can see him being a very good player to being a bust. Hard to peg him. He was up and down in college. That is just my opinion.

Why do you let a few insecure LSU fans rustle your houndstooth jimmies?

Like this comparison

Mid 1st rounder IMO, will do fine in the league

Find out what round his mom thinks he will go in and to which team. Then, go completely opposite of what she tells you.

Best of luck to LC. Glad there won't be any more game weeks with him talking about poor treatment by LSU fans.

Mark Barron esque, although I don't think he'll be drafted as high as Barron.

Many have him as the highest defensive player, some as the first pick.
