What do these guys end up doing? More often than not I see them graduating with a major like general education or kinesology that I can't imagine pays too much as a career? What are Perrilloux and Jamarcus Russell doing these days? What is next for Jordan Jefferson? If the TM can't get his shite together and ends up going undrafted or cut soon after, what does he do then? Do these guys even think about back up plans?

That is why I admire Matt Mauck in times like these. At least he had the forethought to go back to school and become a dentist.

Either bagging groceries at the Destrehan Winn Dixie, or (if he's lucky) asking me if I want grated Parmesan on my salad.

On a serious note, if you were an LSU player and got a degree, some Alum will most likely give you a job as long as you don't bring any baggage with you. With exception of RP and JJ, most will go on to have decent professional lives.

TM

He will play in the NFL.. see Janoris Jenkins and Bryce Brown

If they are semi-educated and presentable, they sell insurance for a franchise owned by a booster or a fan. Or a comparable desk job.

Other than that, they are forgotten within a couple of years of their careers.

Somebody told me once that Tommy Hodson owns an electrical components distributorship. Can anybody confirm?
