Ed Orgeron has coached long enough to make reference to Pro Football Hall of Famer he coached when making a player comparison.
Asked about LSU sophomore inside linebacker Devin White, who leads the SEC in total tackles, Orgeron made reference to a player he coached in the early 1990s while at the University of Miami.
"The last time I had a sophomore like that was Warren Sapp at Miami," the coach said Wednesday during the SEC coaches teleconference.
Sapp came out of Miami as a consensus All-American and the winner of the Lombardi Award that goes to the best lineman in college football, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him in the first round of the 1995 NFL Draft.
