re: how would you rate Jaquelin Roy's LSU career?

Tough crowd man. Not saying they will retire his jersey but saying a multi-year starter that will be drafted to the nfl is considered average or a disappointment is perhaps a bit out of touch. Gained more respect for him this year first just by sticking around after the turmoil and coaching change then by playing probably 80% of the snaps or more because of lack of depth.

Other posters have touched on it but a really good tackle may not put up a bunch of stats, especially if the defense is designed for them to hold their gaps and not be penetrators. I think he has pretty good measurables and if he does a good job of preparing for the combine he could be a possible 3rd rounder although likely a little lower.

I would agree that he would likely even be better next season if he stuck around but I just can’t fathom calling his career a disappointment. I also don’t think the career should be judged based on star ratings from recruiting. How did he produce while here and will he have a career in the league would be my criteria.
