The thing you have to remember/know about Devin White is that he is still pretty raw.
He makes a ton of tackles and plays because he is one of, if not the best athlete on the field. For every play he makes, he has a play where he misreads something or misses his fit or something like that. Often times, he will make a mistake and his athleticism makes up for it abd he makes the play anyway.
Don't take that as a criticism either, it's actually proof to how impressive this kid is. He leads the conference in tackles and doesn't know what he's doing half the time.
Do you know what that means?
It means that Devin White can and will get better than he is right now.

The way those headings read, these players are top 5 at their position for all games to this point. Confirm? Just making sure it isn't a grade for just the week 11 games.

I’m a big believer in PFF’s grading in the NFL. I think it can be useful at the college level, but it still has too many flaws.
The discrepancies in college talent can really skew the data. For those that don’t know, PFF essentially grades every player on every snap.
For example, one OT could be facing an edge rusher that’s about to be drafted into the NFL, while the other Tackle is blocking a middle Linebacker that’s making a transition to edge rusher. The Tackle that has to block the NFL draft pick all game is going to score much lower than the other OT, even if he plays well.
Another flaw is the actual person doing the grading. PFF has more experience & oversight grading NFL games than college. Also, the grader has to make assumptions at times about what a player was supposed to do on a certain play. The NFL is 32 teams all running similar schemes. College is much more diverse. It’s impossible to know for certain the responsibilities of every player on the field.

This is going to lead to my favorite LSU reaction:
Guice better than Chubb because PFF says so.
Defensively it isn’t accurate because Smith is above White.
