Pound for pound, Honeybadger needs to put himself on the list.
No argument from me.
And if pound for pound, the list definitely needs Chris Jackson.

I like the list, except I would not put Chad Jones anywhere near top 5. He was a great football player, but I'd take Jamaal Adams at safety over Jones any day of the week. His baseball contributions were important. Without them I don't think we win that championship. But I don't think that's enough to start him at safety over Adams, Mathieu, Dale, Casanova or even Delpit.
And where the heck is Billy Cannon?l Crimminy! He doesn't have Pistol Pete!

I think Chad Jones would've blew up in the NFL. His potential was boundless due to his athleticism. Sad it never came to be.

I don't. He was slower than folks realize. He wasn't even the fastest pitcher on that 2009 staff.
The NFL GMs agreed with me, too. Every single one of them passed on him twice, with several passing a third time.

He ran a 4.57 and was the size of a small linebacker that played S. He was more than fast enough to make the plays in the NFL. That was never an issue.

Chris Jackson?
Or does his anthem BS exclude him from consideration?

Crazy to think of the amazing athletes left off the list. I mean Pistol Pete anyone? Billy Cannon? I could tax my old man brain and come up with a dozen more that could have an argument about being in the list.

Badger is one of the best players of all time.
He may not be one of the best athletes of all time.
Through grit, desire, will power and instincts, he did things I have never seen before...

So is this a bad time to mention HOFer Bob Pettit?

Gotta put the pole vaulter on there. Duplantis is a tremendous athlete.

Sorry, but Chad Jones a top5 LSU athlete all time? Not even close! Who in their right mind would put Jones over PM?
Posted on 7/10/23 at 12:00 pm to DBeaux225
Tyrann is too modest, he was a much, much more impactful player than Chad Jones.

Y’all MFers love to critique and argue just to argue.. this is HIS list, not yours, not ESPNs, not Sports Illustrated, etc
FFS, throw some respect on the Honeybadger’s name

Proud of Tyren and the way he has turned his life towards giving back. Also the most exciting football player i have ever seen at lsu
Not proud enough to learn how to spell his name though. SMH

That would not be my list but he will not get a big argument from me and I can understand why Patrick Peterson would be number one in his book.

There is not one male basketball player who has ever been on a Men's LSU Basketball roster that Seimone Augustus could beat in basketball.
