Ryan Clark.

Too small, undrafted.

Ended up being Robin to Troy Polamalu's Batman.

Russell Gage, not a huge impact but got himself a solid contract

Garrett Temple

Some may say Naz Reid but I was high on his pro prospects

Fournette was an absolute bust until he was with the bucs.

I assumed he would just wash out.

Kyle Williams, DT
5th rd pick by Buffalo & played for 13 yrs.
I think all LSU fans were pulling for him and proud of what he accomplished.

Al Woods has had one of the longest careers of any LSU player. Didn't see that coming. Love it, but didn't expect it.

Some basketball players currently experiencing pro success.

Duop Reath. Currently starting C for the Trailblazers.

Cam Thomas. Great college scorer. Didn't expect it to translate to the NBA.

Skylar Mays. 4 year NCAA player. 4th year as an active roster NBA player. Currently a rotational piece at 20 minutes per game for the Trailblazers.

Andrew Whitworth

I thought he'd be good, but I didn't think he would be a Walter Payton Man of the Year and likely HOF.

Russel Shepherd
Russel Gage
Al Woods
Daneille Hunter (I expected him to make a career, just not be as dominant as he has been)

Russell Shepard is the answer!

#1 ATH in High School. Completely wasted by Les. Goes undrafted. Had a successful 7 year career in the league!

Al Woods. Isn’t he still playing or just retired. Had like a 13 year career after not doing too much at LSU
