Depends on what you want. If you need a box safety who can blitz and affect the run game, Landry, Adams, Delpit are all great choices. Reid, Jones, Steltz are your more traditional safety’s who control the back end.

I'd say Casanova but he played CB at LSU. He was a safety in the NFL.

Probably Adams or Landry after that. Then maybe Chad Jones.

Up vote for use of the term whipper snappers.

Chad was by far the most overrated. Landry, Steltz, Adams were all better just to name a few. Jones has a critical sack vs Bama and a memorable punt return TD. That’s it.

Not old enough to have seen Casanova


Casanova was a corner or rather not a traditional safety. He would always cover the best Wr.

Played Safety, corner, and RB until Art Cantrelle showed up. He was 6’2” - 200lbs.

Also on his 1971 squad was (defense) Warren Capone, Ronnie Estay, Tyler LaFauci (offense) Andy Hamilton, Al Coffee, and Bert Jones.

Finished 9-3 his Sr Year.

Greg Jackson. That's the guy I was trying to remember from Arnsparger's team. He won a Super Bowl or two with the Giants. He definitely needs to be on the list and ahead of Chad Jones. Jones is probably no. 5 or 6 on my list.

However, Chad Jones is the best Safety / Relief Pitcher combo LSU ever had.

If this is your answer you don’t know football. You just enjoyed him.
