1. Patrick Peterson (thought he would break it every single time)
2. Trindon Holiday
3. Eddie Kennison





The rest.

Beckham has already housed 3 and has had some pretty big returns.


2 against shitty North Texas, 1 against a mediocre Ole Miss team and muffed a huge punt against UGA this year.

Mathieu was only good against Arky and UGA.


Two critical games where he literally changed direction of the game when we needed it most and had absolutely zero offensive production. No way OBJ is ahead of him.

PERSONAL FOUL

Referring to Odel Beckham jr as "Ole Dirty Bastard"

15 post penalty



BTW, Trindon will always be my favorite kick returner. His clip of the turf pellets following his steps as he started dragging his feet into the end zone was priceless. It looked just like smoke coming from his cleats!

Returns are returns but face. You rarely get them and against anybody, it's a feat. A FG return plus 2 punt returns plus a 3rd punt return that was called back. Has close to 500 PR yards = the 109 yard return and almost 700 KR yards. I will say Trindon and Peterson are the best at 2a) and 2b)followed by Beckham. Peterson had an unreal junior campaign.

People forget the knock on trindon. He only returned punts when the ball was expected to be outside our 20. Chad jones stayed back for those. Tm7 and pp are neck and neck.

KR - Trindon
PR - Peterson

As far as a blend of both I think it's down to Peterson or Beckham

I have never had the absolute confidence in LSU returners as I had with Chad Jones or PP7.

I knew they were not gonna make a mistake and if an opportunity to make a play was there, they'd make it.

Probably Holliday.

I liked that whole crew returning the kicks and punts, though - an embarrassment of riches at the position over the last 8 to 10 years.

Not sure I'd take any of them (except Holliday) over Eddie Kennison, though.
