Most exciting defensive players

1. Dont’a Hightower, LB, Alabama. This qualifies as a slight leap of faith, given the knee injury that kept Hightower out for more than half of last season. But Nick Saban and Kirby Smart love this guy, and he has looked like the next great one out of Saban’s system.
2. Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU. Blessed with the size and speed to become a great NFL corner, Peterson already has proved his value in clashes with Alabama’s Julio Jones and Georgia’s A.J. Green. The Tigers have enjoyed great secondary play in recent years, and Peterson might be their best individual talent.
