He got a lot of unwarranted hate from our fan base IMO. I'm glad to see he is having such a successful NFL career.

On another note it's also great to see Hunter be so good in the NFL. Our coaching staff at the time didn't let him excel how he could have.

He is gonna need to be extra good tomorrow again with Collin’s out at WR.

Shroud is a liability already enough with him playing.

I don't recall a Stingly playing at LSU.

But when Derek Stingley Jr played at LSU most fans loved him.

He did after the 2019 season. People thought he was a pussy who faked injuries to get out of playing

There was never a straight story about what happened to him before 2020 MSU game… damn we were snakebit after the championship.

If 20 and 21 had been normal seasons he’d be remembered like PP7 and TM7.

I don’t think anyone at all thought he was bad but a lot thought he quit on the team.

Not saying I agree, but that was the thought at the time.

I think the issues with Stingley in regards to the fans was his "injury" issues and the fact his dad was acting like an a-hole. I don't think people questioned his abilities and skill set, but rather his commitment to the team.

Yes he did. He was accused of faking a fricking lis franc injury.

That true freshman year of his - 2019 - he was truly electric. Ultra-elite, right out of the gate.

My favorite moment: the interception in the south endzone against Florida. That game was actually a little too close for comfort before that.

Stingley, the best CB in LSU history.

Danielle Hunter, the best defensive NFL player in LSU history. Stingley may end up 1st or 2nd, too.


People melted because they thought he opted out, and gave us the "meh he isn't that good anyway he got beat by Devonta Smith once"

I didn't realize he got hate on that level. I always thought he was pretty elite.

I don’t remember anyone saying Stingley wasn’t great. The criticism was around him opting out (I think he was actually injured).

He got toasted by the Alabama and Florida receivers, probably due to poor technique, but whatever it was he got it straightened out.
