Is Danielle Hunter the LSU player who most exceeded expectations in the NFL?

He had 4.5 sacks in 3 years at LSU, and has since become a 5x Pro-Bowler with 115 sacks in 11 years. He always looked like an absolute beast, but he became a much better Pro than expected.

Escaped John Chavis

That Chavis Defense was 2nd in the SEC.

He was underdeveloped and did not get enough playing time. He is a beast in the NFL!

Hunter is one of the best examples of poor utilization of the individual, for the scheme.

Probably so. But expectations were low because of Les’s and Chavis’s dumb asses.

No. I always thought he would be a great pro. Saints fupduck not taking him. I believe they took a quarterback from Colorado State and Vikings took Hunter one or two picks later. Always played with a motor

If he chases a few more seasons and keeps playing at this level, he will be in the HoF.

It was poor coaching/scheme, but he was also really young. Came to LSU at 17 and was 20 when he got drafted.

James Wright, Perry Riley, or Russell Shepard.

Hunter has sneakily worked his way into a near HOF career.
I think he’s going to end up another LSU HOF. His production continues to remain high. I think he finished 3rd or 4th in sacks this year.
Hunter was very young when drafted, I believe he started playing in the NFL when he was 20.
If Hunter finishes around 140-150 career sacks, I think he’s a lock.

I’m hearing a lot of LSU players names called in this game.

Hunter is giving Will Campbell hell

He's probably going to the HOF if he plays maybe 3 more seasons. He's only 31.

The scheme called for the ends to play contain and rarely rush the passer. Youre citing his sack stats compared to now.
Yes the guy was raw coming into lsu but chavis scheme suppressed his stats regardless of where they ranked
Eta typo

Chavis had him playing the run constantly which was ridiculous
