Who is DBU? Both Florida and LSU claim the title and judging by at least one NFL analyst, both schools will continue to have some legitimate claim to the title in 2016.

Counting down to the season kickoff, NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein continued his NFL.com series of top players at each position to watch this season with his defensive back edition. Of the 10 players on the list, five of them hail from the SEC.

Zierlein’s No. 1 defensive back to watch is Florida junior cornerback Jalen Tabor – although he wasn’t ready to put Tabor in the same category as departed starter and 2016 Top 10 draft pick Vernon Hargreaves III:

Tabor does a great job of reading routes and putting himself in position to make plays on the ball. Keep in mind that Tabor had a pass breakup or interception on 19 of the 50 targets he saw last season. Thanks to his disruptive length and twitchy reaction, Tabor limited opponents’ completion percentage against him to 40 and has allowed only one touchdown catch over the last two seasons. His balls skills, length and athleticism will make him attractive to scouts, but his struggles as a tackler…

Alabama sophomore cornerback Marlon Humphrey, son of NFL running back Bobby Humphrey, came in at No. 2:

He’s tall (listed at 6-foot-1) and well-built with an ability to impose his will against smaller receivers. Sure, his technique needs work, but he allowed a completion rate of just 37.9 percent and finished with three interceptions last season. With Alabama’s incredible defensive front, quarterbacks will struggle and Humphrey will benefit. The redshirt sophomore allowed a little more separation at times than his coaches might have liked.

LSU senior cornerback Tre’Davious White was listed at No. 5:

There simply won’t be a more talented mirror-and-match cornerback this season than White. White’s foot quickness and change-of-direction ability are elite on the college level. He’s a pure, man-cover cornerback. While the senior could line up outside on an NFL team, he might find himself as a slot corner with so much importance being shifted to the third cornerback spot. White struggled near the red zone against size at times.

His fellow defensive back, safety Jamal Adams was next on the list at No. 6:

While Adams is a little stiffer than teams might like and can be a little limited in his coverage ability, he’s an alpha dog once he steps into the box. When he gets his hands on a running back, he finishes what he starts. Adams has excellent instincts against the run and takes quality angles to the ball. Watch for the LSU junior to go from second-team All-SEC to first-team All-American this season.

Gator safety Marcus Maye closed out the Top 10:

Maye is a smoother athlete than LSU’s Jamal Adams and it can be argued that he’s a more well-rounded talent. Maye doesn’t have Adams’ size and needs to improve his consistency as a tackler, but he can line up as a single-high safety, on slot receivers and inside the box.

Judging by this list, picking the best secondary between Florida and LSU may be impossible this season, however there is no doubt which league has the best secondary talent in the nation for the 2016 season.
