I mean one player that we can all agree on that was the absolute best Tiger to ever play his respective position?

When we look back in history at all positions on the field, and we focus on one particular position...is there one name out there that we could all agree on?

Only one I can think of is Faneca.

meh...you're probably going to get too much debate on that one. There are alot of Hodson backers out there.

this is my short list...

Tommy Banks FB
Kevin Mawae C
Donnie Jones P

Any dispute?

Faneca seems like a good choice

Definitely. That takes care of the Concensus best Guard in LSU History.

But is there any other positions out there that we could look at and all agree on one guy?

Michael Brooks. Those that say he wasn't the best likely never saw him play.

Good one bro. It'll be interesting if anybody can think of anyone that could possibly challenge him. I can't.

One of the LB spots would have to be Michael Brooks.

And one of the WR spots would have to be Wendell Davis, IMO. Then maybe Josh Reed for the other?

Tommy Casonova Safety. The younger folks here don't really know just how good he was. His football instincts were off the chart.

You could group Casanova in with Faneca imo.

I agree with this. Only one that has been nearly as successful has been Richard Dickson...and even he's not in the same conversation as LaFleur.
