It's almost impossible to play this game knowing how Clayton's career turned out. I'll take a stab and say Randall might be more athletic, but I don't know that there's ever been a better "football player" at LSU than Clayton.

If you really want to compare, how about Josh Reed vs RR?

How is Randall going to get the ball?

He may prove to be a better tackler than Clayton.

Time will tell.

Is there really any way to answer this question before seeing RR play against college players?

I have to agree with HotCarl...Clayton was one of the best all-around players to ever play at LSU. He was a great college receiver, he started a legacy of WRs being important as blockers at LSU, he was a great special teams player, and he was the ultimate team player.When interviewed, he said all the right things, and he lead by example on the field.

Regarding the Bowe vs. Clayton comparison...Clayton does not have the physical gifts that make Bowe a very good (potentially great) NFL receiver, but he was a more complete college receiver (and a much more complete player because of his STs prowess). Bowe dropped too many balls to be considered a better receiver than Clayton, and he never had the leadership factor that helped LSU re-emerge as a national power.

If RR turns out to be a comparable player to MC, he will be a great player for LSU.

Marcus Randall?

I'd take Clayton. I remember seeing him at CLA and knew that kid was going to be special.

grew up and played ball with both of them. Randall is more athletic. But he couldnt touch his older brother at glen oaks. Clayton was a beast too.. Its too close to call
