It’s also incredibly hard to imagine players from that era in today’s game.

Yea, for idiots

Team should include CAnnon, Casanova, Glenn Dorsey, Charles Alexander. And ofcourse, Mike the Tiger's that came out on the field.

Great list...maybe Tre White over Mo?

I alkost Went with Corey Webster over Mo.

Corey Webster had an insane career at LSU and had a good NFL career and gets overlooked a lot

I think The Thorpe award swayed it but honestly I may change it to Webster

2x All American
16 career Interceptions. Back to back 7 pick seasons.

There are a few ways to do this.

Best career statistically at LSU
Contribution to LSU
Best players overall which brings in their Pro Careers.

You can also go by actually watching and seeing the players play.

For example, I said Wendell Davis at a WR, and Dalton Hilliard at RB. I don't care that they might not have the numbers some more recent guys have had, they were just as good.
Hilliard had more moves and cuts than Barry Sanders, he just didn't have breakaway speed... prob didn't have regular speed. His thighs were so huge he ran bowlegged. Probably would chafe if he ran a 40. But a beast in the game.

Re Wendell Davis, somebody (I think it was Chris Carrier) once told me that in practice, you could drop quarters on the field to lay out a route, and Wendell could run his routes with his eyes closed and hit the quarters- and then open his eyes after the last cut and catch the pass from Hodson. Again, no blazing speed, just a pure technician.

Defensive line, we've have tons of guys, I don't think I have seen better than Leonard Marshall. Lots that might be as good, or almost as good. None better.
Same thing to say about Michael Brooks at Linebacker.

If you’re thinking about how they would actually play as a team you need to think about how they would play together. For example assuming you start with Burrow, I think Faulk would make a more complimentary RB1 for him than Fournette would.

everything Fournette was supposed to be

as good as collins was both in hs and colelge, LF was better at both levels.

go watch the youtubes of Cecil and then watch LF in his soph year and the OM game in his junior year when he was healthy

LF was better

both looked like they were shot out of a rocket when they hit the hole.

Doc Fenton not on the list? I guess Burrow would probably be the choice for QB these days, but this list looks mighty shallow and limited to players in recent years. I don't see anyone on this list who is even 50 years old as of today's date.

These threads are always the most downvoted, it’s fun to watch

Still forgot Jim Taylor.

Just say anyone before 2015 team needs not apply. Then in 2040 no one from 2030 or before needs to apply. I’m I doing it right? Michael Brooks could play in any era. Leonard Marshall could play in any era. Jeffery Dale could play in any era. Etc
