Every day here at Your Best 11, we are counting down to the start of the regular season with our Top 150 players for the 2012 season.
No. 107: Tharold Simon, No. 24, LSU, Cornerback
Strengths
After spending the year as the Bayou Bengals' third and fourth corner, Tharold Simon is set to step into the starting lineup opposite Tyrann Mathieu. The rising junior is a big, physical specimen at the corner position who is just a year removed from leading LSU's stellar defense in passes defensed.
Simon is bigger than Morris Claiborne, longer than Claiborne, and he has a lot of the same skills as the first-round draft pick. Quick feet, good technique and great vision all help Simon to be a truly solid corner.
