Todd McClure hands down. Currently the Atlanta Falcons starting center. Made All-SEC but never really got the credit he deserved. Between him and Kevin Mawae, LSU has had 2 great centers in the NFL for a while now.

Harvey Williams was a huge star when he was playing at LSU. His injuries took a little of the shine off, but I don't think he was under-appreciated at all.
Most under-appreciated players, imo. Herb Tyler and Sammy Martin.

I disagree. Harvey was a huge name at LSU, who was a starter from day one, basically. He didn't have anyone behind him who was as well-rounded from Martin to Fuller to Slip.
I sometimes think he was overrated. From '89-90, he really didn't do a whole lot and he wasn't running behind Albergamo and Andolsek anymore, either. He looked bad in certain games - especially bigger games like Florida of '87, where he did score the GW TD, but also fumbled diving into the endzone in the 1st half. He basically stunk against Georgia that same year. I know he got hurt in the Superdome at the end of '87, but that was his last defining season as a Tiger.
That said, he is in the top 10 as far as LSU RB's of all time. He shined a lot, but he also got arrogant at times. All in all, he was a great player, but I think he gets too much props at times.

Harvey was responsible for the call in show going to a 6 second delay. Someone called in after a game in which Harvey was injured and asked,
"Is it true that Harvey got kneed in the pussy?"

What's your basis for this point?
I don't recall him being appreciated any less than any other decent, yet not really great, back to ever play at LSU.
I know he came in with a lot of hype (the recruiting game with A&M and story of switching to LSU at the last minute because of classmates singing the Aggie fight song), so maybe that's what you're referring to?
