re: If my memory is correct. LSU hasn't seen OL recruiting under Kelly this good since Saban.

The NFL chops of that line exceed any line in LSU history. Cushenberry and Damien Lewis are solid NFL starters. Saahdiq Charles and Ingram are also starters. Deculus is also on an NFL roster.

I don’t think you can really include Ingram in that list since he only started 2 games in 2019. Rosenthal and Traore each started more games than Ingram.

Our actual first team was Charles, Magee, Cushenberry, Lewis, and Deculus. However, Charles missed 6 games. Deculus also missed 2 games.

It does highlight one of the strengths of that group though - there was a lot of trial by fire in 2018 between injuries and shuffling guys around to find the right group. We had a lot of depth.

All of that said I do believe the 2019 OL was very good, and I agree that fans generally seem to undervalue them because of the absurd talent we had at skill positions.

True. We had a fourth year future NFL starter on the bench who could not win a starting job. Helluva line!
