re: Now that VH3 is gone, I think Tre'davious White is the top SEC corner.

Tabor was better than Hargreaves last year. He defended 18 passes last year, four of those were interceptions, and two of those were returned for touchdowns. He allowed a passer rating of 33.0 when thrown against, which is the lowest of all returning corners. He was thrown against 52 times and gave up 19 completions for 190 yards all of last season.

Unless White is just spectacular against the run, he's not as good as Tabor.

I wish I had a good database of stats... but what I've found was that Tre white is only targeted 13.5% of the time on passing plays. His completion percentage allowed is 23.4%. Looking at 2014 for example... 385 pass attempts on LSU, he would be targeted 52 times while only allowing 13 completions and just 1 passing TD all year.

From a scout:

quote:

Tre'Davious White, LSU
Target rate: 13.5 percent
Burn rate: 23.4 percent
White's burn rate is one of the lowest I've ever seen, so I studied tape of him earlier this summer to get a better feel for him. White completely outplayed 2015 second-rounder Jalen Collins in their matchup against Alabama's Amari Cooper and showed a tremendous amount of twitch and fluidity in his movement.

Opposing teams clearly saw the same thing, as they targeted White just 13.5 percent of the time, which was the second lowest target rate of the players I studied. With elite feet and recovery twitch, White allowed only one touchdown in 2014, but he did allow 18 yards per completion (though there weren't many completions against him). The knocks on White? His ball skills need work and he's not a very physical player.


He is as good as Tabor.. IMO.
