There are two players with their numbers in lights inside the stadium and no one has included Billy Cannon and Tommy Casanova.
The question was the most exciting players you have seen. Most of the people in this forum were not alive to see either. That’s no disrespect to either but not many still around that have seen them play

Where does JD5 rank all time among LSU fans as most exciting to watch?
And let's clarify- most exciting doesn't equate to 'best' player, so no reason for the Burrow purists to get wadded up over that.
I'd say Honey Badger, simply because he routinely made impossible plays in 2011. Dude is running down on the kick coverage, comes in for the tackle, and without breaking stride he forces a fumble, scoops and scores. Or comes off a blitz, you think he's got a sack... no, he's got the ball and a TD.
Burrow- it was a different type of excellence. Basically, it was like watching someone play Madden on Easy Mode, but in real life.
Daniels- he's like watching the top 5 Star recruit, playing backyard football against a bunch of middle schoolers. He'll throw deep because he can outthrow everyone... oh, wait, did you really just call 5 Mississippi and try to rush him? Now he can run around/through everyone.

I was born in 66, so I don't really know what it was like when they played
but I've seen the Cannon run against Ole Miss that is famous, but if I am honest, he looks slow in that footage, JD5 would smile as he's passing Cannon down that sideline...
am I wrong?
lineman back then were about 100 lbs lighter...
the game has changed
so I give the edge to modern players..
