Ourlads' Profile:

2019 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about DEVIN WHITE: LSU, 6000 237 4.42. Junior entry and three year starter from Springhill, LA. White is quick with his initial read and is aggressive downhill attacking gaps. He has a nose for the ball as he can fit a gap and make a play in the backfield. Has sideline to sideline range in pursuit and is quick to change directions. Has a burst to close in chase mode. Fundamentally sound tackler who gathers well in space and finishes tackles. Solid inside blitzer with good anticipation at the snap. Often used as a spy on a back or quarterback and is effective with a delayed blitz letting the crease open. His quickness gets him free and he makes a lot of plays when blitzing. Quick with his hands to ward off blocks on the move. Fits the off-tackle gap with precision. Solid cover skills with zone awareness. Used more often as a blitzer but has cover skill. Has the ability to mirror a back and the speed to run with a vertical route. Has an incredible plant and drive breaking on the throw. Closes a lot of ground with the ball in the air. His aggressiveness will occasionally take him out of the play as he will under run at times. Fits are sometimes off as he can get on the wrong side of a block and lose ball side leverage. Occasional false step contributes to getting out of position. Can get bounced around by a powerful blocker. Normally a knee bender in attack mode but can lose leverage on a block and get walled off. Has the tools of an elite inside linebacker that never comes off the field. He fits as a box linebacker in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme. 2018 stats: 123 T, 12 TFL, 3 sacks, 6 PBU, 8 QBH, 3 FF. Edge speed:left 2.21, right 2.03. OSR:3/15. First round. (A-32 1/ 8, H-9 3/4, BP-22, SS-4.18).
