Y. A. Tittle

Jimmy Taylor

Jerry Stovall

Tommy Casanova

A. J. Duhe

Leonard Marshall

Dalton Hilliard

Kevin Mawae

Alan Faneca

But I think I would pick Kevin Faulk.

Bert was a great player in both college & pros, but he resented Cholly Mac and often talked bad about his experience at LSU, so I wouldn't say he represented LSU in a classy manner.

Dal-ton.

One of the few Saints running backs that didn't completely suck.

Jimmy Taylor and Alan Faneca, too close to call

Hon Mention:

Steve Van Buren
YA Tittle
Henry Thomas
Dalton Hilliard
Eric Martin (I used to be a Saints, fan, too)
Alan Faneca
Kevin Faulk

Recent/Current players who could easily make this list someday:

Patrick Peterson
Glen Dorsey
Devery Henderson
Dwayne Bowe
Joseph Addai
Stevan Ridley
Tyrann Mathieu
Mo Claiborne

(Kenny Hilliard - too early to say this, but I'm saying it anyway - I don't want to jinx him like I did Michael Clayton)

Hokie Gajan. Maybe not the best player out of LSU to play in the NFL but definitely the most loved. Represented and still represents LSU with class.

Casanova...anyone that doesn't have him in their top 5 is less than 30 years old! He was the man!

Kevin Faulk

Arguably the greatest player in LSU history, came back for his senior season, and has had a tremendous NFL career.

Only 3 players currently on the patriots roster who were a member of all 3 of their super bowls- Tom Brady, left tackle Matt Light, and Kevin fricking Faulk

Johnny Robinson. The greatest player who belongs in the NFL HOF, but is not. What a travesty. He was the top safety in the AFL on those great Kansas City Chiefs teams.
