Poll: Are You In Favor Of LSU Adding Players With NFL Experience To The Roster?

Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images

LSU's push to add players with NFL experience to its roster will come to a head on Thursday. That is when a court hearing is set in Baton Rouge, where the SEC and commissioner Greg Sankey will challenge a temporary restraining order (TRO) that is currently preventing the conference from enforcing its new rule against players who have signed professional contracts.

The timing is important for LSU. The Tigers have until Friday to finalize their 105-man roster, one day before they open the season against Clemson.

Former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who spent this summer in NFL training camps with the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns but never made a regular-season roster, has practiced with LSU over the past week.

Here is your chance to tell the world how you feel about this:

Need you to be more specific with the question.

You mean right now while it’s legal and everybody else has the opportunity to do it? (Yes)

Or the idea of it in principle? (No)

This is the right answer. I don’t think players who have signed with NFL teams should be able to return to college.

But if they are able, they should come to LSU.

You need to reword the question. Participating in an NFL training camp doesn't mean you have NFL experience. It's nothing more than a tryout.

All that matters is what the SEC deems as "NFL experience"...

JackieSonnier•3 hours

So mr chicken what do you think? Should kiffin see this through till the end?

Undrafted 2022 players: yes. Everyone else: no.

I like some others did not like the wording of the ?. IMO, the proper question should have been..."Are you in favor of LSU adding players from the 2022 class due to them not being informed about their options related to 5 for 5?" NFL experience implies including veteran players.

I wish there were an option for: dom't care. Spot the ball.

Yes! If Texas and others can do it then yes. Only under this year 5 for 5 rule. No reason we shouldn't when Chambliss is Ineligible under the 5 for 5 with his 6th year. All these teams doing it so we should be able to do it also.

Let's only allow amateurs to play and we can all gather on Saturdays to watch the marching band, or are they being paid to play too?

Pass. Move on. Why flirt with disaster? Game week and these distractions before an opening game is not a good thing.

They don't know the playbook or the team, they won't contribute for months, and it's their final year of eligibility. It's simply not worth the risk.

That depends on the case right? A tight end like Wright would know kiffin and Weiss playbook, and an end like Pyburn would know bakers playbook, to an extent.

I am in favor of consistency in the rules that LSU is not singularly lambasted for doing just the same as other schools, and for an exception to be made for the class of '22, and fpr a consistent rule to be applied thereafter but not just because mean old LSU did it.

The question is not simple whether one agrees with players who’ve been on NFL rosters returning. It’s more so this: If the Court allows 2022 class players to play a 5th year in CFB, do you support allowing players whom have been on NFL rosters and those whom have declared for the draft and/or attended Rookie Mini-camps?

I cannot answer the question like it is.
