NFL.com media draft analyst Lance Zierilein believes LSU's Devin White is the best college linebacker in the nation heading into the 2018 season.
It's even more notable considering Zierlein lumped all linebackers, inside and outside, together in his "Top 13 Linebackers to watch" list.
Zierlein's preseason honor roll includes six other SEC linebackers. In fact, the top six of eight LBs on Zierlien's list are from the SEC.
Zierlien said of White, "He has rare acceleration ability for a linebacker his size (6-1, 240, per school measurements) and mirrors running backs from gap to gap if they start bouncing it outside.
