Jalen Collins - the next physically imposing CB at LSU, great range, ball skills, and coverage ability

Anthony Johnson - has shown flashes of his ability already

Jarvis Landry - really turned on his game down the stretch last season, strong hands, great physicality

Lamin Barrow - primed for a huge year at linebacker

Craig Loston - starting to play up to his hype out of high school

Anthony Johnson - Has shown glimpses of greatness while playing 2nd fiddle to 2 other good DTs. Finally gets a chance to be the guy and will thrive. I think Johnson will be the team sack leader.

Hill - Prototype NFL back. Has the size to run through players, the vision and shiftiness to make people miss, and the speed to break off the 50 yard TD runs. Always falls forward. Of course, it all depends on what happens in court. But, if he only misses a game or 2, I look for him to be an absolute animal this year and a potential 1st rounder and a top RB in the draft.

La'el Collins - Very highly regarded prospect and was our best OL last year. Finally gets to play the position he is suited for at LT and will show off elite athleticism.

Jalen Collins - Has great size, but also has legit cover skills to go along with it. Rangy, physical, and plays with an attitude. Been saying it for a year, Chief has been grooming JCollins for this season and I think he surprises a lot of people and absolutely dominates this year.

Barrow - Had a great season last year next to Minter, and should thrive this season being the guy. Besides being a tackling machine, he also possesses great coverage ability at LB.

Next 2 would be Landry and Martin IMO. Loston is a good player, but if were talking about draft prospects, he has had too many injuries and played good some games, but also played bad. Looked great, also looked average. If he has a good year he could move into the top 5 prospects for the team. But so far hes been too injury prone and too inconsistent. Consistency and being available is very important for him this season.

Landry - Physically dominant at WR. Good routes, great hands, and plays with a nasty attitude that I love at WR.

Martin - Sure, hes a 1st time starter, but the kid is going to be a stud and move up draft boards. 6'2 210lbs that is physical and can cover and run. Played on the LSU bball team freshman year and possesses a 41 inch vert. I look for him to thrive next year.

Beckham has to be on this list ahead of some of these other guys like jalen Collins. Landry is a freak, but beckham will be a more intriguing prospect for the nfl because of his ability to stretch the field.

The best corner on our team is probably between jalen mills and tre white, but I'm guessing this discussion is for draft eligible players?

I think his punt return abilities has him up there as well.

Tre White cant be the best CB on the team because he hasn't touched the field yet. Collins and mills are our best CBs

I could see beckham shoot up the charts with a bigtime season. He's got nice size, speed, athleticism, and can return punts and kicks. Just gotta catch the thing first.

Jalen Collins

If you are talking for the 2014 draft, then yes. But I believe when its all said and done, Mills will be the more coveted CB prospect
