No. 5: Tre’Davious White, LSU

Coming in at No. 5 is LSU’s Tre’Davious White. The four-year player at LSU has six interceptions, 34 passes defensed and nearly 167 tackles.

White comes in a bit undersized, at 5-foot-11, 192 pounds, but doesn’t play like when he’s on the field.

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein adds that he’s been a full-time starter for four years and he’s been a good mirror corner. White can also be a good fit in any man-cover system, but will likely have difficulty in run support.

Pro Football Focus adds this his biggest question marks might stem from his consistency. White had good years in 2014 and 2016, but didn’t produce up to expectations in 2015.

Whatever NFL team drafts him will have to hope that his pro-career will imitate his two best years at LSU.
