This.

PP7 was the best, easily IMO. Every time he touched the ball, I thought he was gone. Tyrann had some crazy clutch performances, but PP7 proved to be consistently ELITE, even in the NFL.

I think he's the GOAT at LSU honestly.

Skylar got fat his last year at LSU. He lost a lot of his speed.

Skylar Green then Pat Pete. The honey badger had a great two game span but he was so so the rest of the year. If trindon had better hands he could have been the best to come thru LSU

but they were at the begging of the season.

he was short kicked literally every other game.

I know that sounds like a cop out but if you watched the games you remember this.

Up until Arkansas i was wondering why Tyrann was even returning punts.

Also there is a reason PP7 is the punt returner in Arizona

While TM was certainly clutch in those two games, do you even remember him as a punt returner in any other game?

You could say OBJ won us the '12 Ole Miss game too.

Chad was good, but not in the green, Mathieu, PP7 range.

I've always been a Trindon fan, although his stats aren't at the top. Dude was just so fast and agile, I'd get excited every time he fielded a punt or kickoff.

Damn. I didn't realize how close it actually was. You really can't go wrong. Both were pretty sure handed and made the right decisions as well.

Peterson for kick returner, Honey Badger for punt returner.

They punted away from both PP7 and HB. I remember being so frustrated that by the end of the season they didn't give either one much a chance, but that just shows how much other teams respected them. I can't remember what competition both returned TDs against. Makes a difference SEC vs FCS or small conference.

PP7 wasn't a great kickoff returner, though. Great punt returner.
