If he had decided to come back for his senior season would he even be a starter.

Yep, he was pretty much where he is now physically when he was like a soph. at OP Walker. Hence the nickname "Freak". There were some questions of work ethic at LSU as well, but I don't know how much of an impact that actually had on his development. Sometimes a guy just peak early and it isn't in the cards for him.

ETA: All of that saaid, people really overblow the whole notion that he was a "bust". He was a good and at times very good player for us (and he's got a damn good shot of making an NFL roster, which I believe precludes him from being deemed a bust).
