One of the top rated defensive back prospects in the nation is Safety Laron Landry from LSU. Landry would have been a first round draft pick if he would have entered the 2006 NFL Draft last year, and now after a strong senior season he should be a top 10 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft.
Landry hits like a linebacker but runs and covers like a cornerback. He really has no weakness, he is big and strong enough at 6-2 208 to play strong safety, but also has the coverage ability and speed to play free safety.

Landry has led LSU in tackles two of the past three seasons. Very durable, with 35 consecutive starts in 2006, which began with 10 straight starts as a true freshman to cap LSU's National Championship season in 2003. As a junior he finished with 241 career tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 9 interceptions and 7 sacks. This year (2006) he finished as the teams top tackler with 68 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 4 pass break-ups and 4 QB hurries. He would be a great fit for a team needing a free safety like the Dallas Cowboys.
