    Willie Gay LB
    KJ Wright LB
    Benardrick McKinney LB


    Darius Slay CB

    There has to be a DB I am missing right?

    Pernell McPhee is still in the league as well but at this point he wouldn't be a starter on this team........Amazing how much quality D talent State has produced....Impressive to say the least.........

    Will Redmond was in the safety rotation for the packers, but injured and got released yesterday.

    Since you have 2 corners and only 1 safety, your defense won’t work. You would add JT Gray as a safety. He is playing special teams and safety for the Saints. Our issue would be depth in the secondary. The front 7 would be legit.

    Great list but there are many more I'll give a few.

    Fred Smoot at CB
    Johnnie Cooks at LB
    Tyrone Keys DE
    Walt Harris DB
    Blade, Wyms, Davis. Goliday on DL

    Many other MSU greats but not sure how many made it to NFL. Cooks is still the highest drafted Dawg I think at #2. Cooks was a beast in the middle.

    I assumed he was building a defense from active NFL players.

    This is the reason I?ve been posting the same thing since the early Don days. In the state of Mississippi you have to work hard at recruiting not to have a good to great defense. The state is full of defensive athletic guys. The biggest problem for Mississippi schools is recruiting the skill players on offense to compete with the big boys. To do that you have to go out of state for the majority of the skills guys and Leach is the first coach with the ability and relationships to do that.

    Don had a little of it early and we got a few like Chad Bumphis, because of his old ties to Fl recruiting. When the CC rolled into Starkville and no longer had Meyer to seal the deals, they were who we thought they were. Lazy and arrogant.

    If we just do our homework and keep the defensive talent in state and pull some top receivers from elsewhere, this team will be hell on wings.

    Eta. Mississippi also produces quality running backs. Should never be a shortage.
