Let’s compare Devin White with Jaylon

[CowboyRoy]

I was really impressed with Devin White’s play this year and thought we should compare him with another highly touted lb coming out of college in Jaylon. Keep in mind that Devin played in 15 games vs Jaylon’s 16.

Total tackles
Jaylon 154
Devin 140

Solo tackles
Jaylon 89
Devin 97

Sacks
Jaylon 1.5
Devin 9 (wow!)

Tackles for loss
Jaylon 5
Devin 15

QB hits
Jaylon 4
Devin 16

The Bucs proved that spending a top 5 pick on a lb is not a mistake.

The key stat for a LB is tackles for losses in my book.

Let's not.

When White hits anyone it looks like a bug that just hit your windshield. When Jaylon hits anyone the windshield has a big gnarly crack in it.

not on of our LBs looked good last year , not many defenders actually had a good year..

why is this? you judge a top 5 player for player taken in the 2nd round surrounded by trash. You could compare many 2nd round LBers to white and have the same result..

we need better DL first a better scheme for our Lbs before you judge JS lets make it fair..

If Micah Parsons is available at 10 I say go for it!

White has two foot feet. Jaylon good foot and has the best swipe after a 7 yard gain.

Jaylon is a clownish player. Gets sucked into the wrong gap constantly by fakes. Overruns everything.

He's the worst defensive starter in virtually every game he plays, even on this defense.

Complete liability.

It is idiotic to use Smith's stats to prop him up.

It is so stupid that it sounds like something he would do.

And that is saying a lot.

Agreed. They also need a stat to show where the tackles are being made especially solo tackles.
