Todd Kinchen was a "freak".
He was SEC offensive player of the year as a non-qb or rb.
He was possibly the quickest (as opposed to raw speed) player in LSU history.
He could change direction and cut on a dime.
He was a GREAT leaper, and leapt over opponents regularly.
What he did to Texas A & M was criminal.
His play against Vandy (freaking refs) was larcenous.
He was the first player in NFL history to score a td on a kickoff return AND a punt return in the SAME GAME and did it against a really strong SF 49ers team.
He could do a 360 reverse dunk as a sophmore in HS and was recruited by every major program in the country (Indiana NC) as a basketball player. He led his team to a state Championship in basketball.
He hit around 500 as a HS baseball player and led his HS to a state championship in that spot as well.
He lasted about 8/9 years in the NFL.

I think that a lot of people who weren't connected to the program never realized what this guy could do.If he played in a Crowton-type offense he would have done legendary things.

I do not know if he was our last "freak" but he was a freak.
His skill set was really unusual, unlike Eddie Kennison or others who relied on world class speed, he did it with white boy jukes and crazy angles and cuts.

He was a once-in-a-lifetime-athlete.
