How is Leon Hall a finalist? He is the product of very good front 7, I think he's good.........but he's not the best corner in the country (or even by Big 10) by any means. He has 3 interceptions and leads the Big 10 with 15 passes broken up. What does that tell you? It tells me that teams aren't afraid to throw the ball at him, or possibly that QB's are forced into making bad throws in his direction because they are under so much pressure from the defensive line.
Hell, Laurinaitis has 5 picks and he's a linebacker. People can't make the "Well, Leon is so good that teams don't throw the ball at him" excuse........because that theory is thrown out the window by the simple fact that he leads the Big Ten in pass breakups.
Hall is a product of the system. Antonio Smith is probably having a better season than Hall, but unfortunately he lacks the "name".
