This will be tough to gauge because players make way more today, and NFL earnings have way outpaced inflation. So you can't even inflation adjust to see what player was seen as more valuable today than 20 years ago.

Yeah that and some positions like RB were valued much more in the past than they are now.

Seems tragically low. Patriots really got some value out of Faulk.

Woods is crazy, but Bowe at 92 and that was a good bit ago. Happy for all these guys.

Woods and Shepard for whatever reason seemed to underproduce at LSU for their recruit ratings but did well in the NFL.

Obviously Nabers and Thomas are going to shoot up that list after their rookie contract, but who would have ever predicted Gage to have made more than LaFell, Chark, or even Shepard?

I think he’s one of those that found more success/recognition in the nfl than at lsu/among lsu fans during college

Brockers was so damn good. He could dominated as much as I’ve seen anyone dominate at that position.
