No im not. I understand we've had sensational players that have their place in history. Shaq may be one of the top 2 or 3 centers to ever play the game. Billy Cannon is our only Heisman Trophy winner. Casanova was a 3 time all american. All of that amounts to absolutely nothing when considering who are the best ATHLETES. An athlete is someone that can run, throw, catch, move with lateral agility, lift weights, has exceptional hand/eye coordination, has athletic type instincts, etc. Babe Ruth is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time, but he may not even be one of the 1000 greatest athletes in baseball history. The athletes of today are bigger, faster, stronger so naturally the greatest athletes to ever play at LSU will all be very modern. 10 years from now, my list of five may not even still have a single player in the top 5, with the exception of Peterson. Leonard Fournette comes to mind...(knock on wood)
