Was Kevin Faulk the last LSU big "star" to return for Sr. year in Football?

Seems like since lil Nicky came to town LSU certainly has had more quality high NFL draft picks and I know Nick's approach was to guide them to the draft if they were probable 1st rounders....

so, it makes me wonder.... have any LSU players that were projected high draft picks returned to school somewhat unexpectedly?

I don't blame them for going... but I do love it when kids stay in school.... such as Manning at UT, Luck at Stanford, etc. when they clearly could go high in the NFL draft and cash their ticket.

I dont recall, was Faulk ever thought of as a #1 pick? I mean, he's pretty much been a 3rd down back for 13 seasons.

I think its how the game has evolved. Because the salaries are so high in the NFL and the short time that most players have to play, there's no sense in waiting. Go play for as long as possible and then come back and get the rest of your degree if you want to or need it.

It was unheard of a long time ago, now its big news when someone doesn't leave early.

Not as big as others mentioned, but Corey Webster was one that came back.
