LSU Tiger who has had the most success in the NFL

Out of all the LSU Tiger football players who have played in the NFL, who do you guys think has had the most success in the pros?
I would say it's definitely a three-way tie between Y.A. Tittle, Steve Van Buren, and Jim Taylor, who are all in the NFL Hall of Fame. It's hard to choose the best out of those three guys. What do y'all think?

He is getting paid!
like a starting QB, but with none of the wear and tear. When he retires he will be able to walk with no problem.

Alan Faneca and Kevin Mawae
Faneca was the best OL in the game for years and is a 10+ year probowler I believe. Both should be HofF'ers

Kevin Faulk, riiiiiiiings...
As far as money goes, that isn't an argument based on opinion, someone can base that on fact. I'd have to think one of the o-lineman, either Faneca or Mawae with their long and elite careers have probably made the most over their time in the NFL.
I also think Faneca has the best claim of any o-lineman all time for Superbowl MVP. He sprung Willie Parker several times and never gave up a hurry or a sack in his first Superbowl if my memory serves me correctly.

Kevin Faulk
Is success in the NFL not measured by rings? This is a rhetorical question.

Kevin Faulk
He has three and was on the same team for 13 years. He was also selected to the Patriots All-2000s team.

Probably somebody you haven't thought about, like 9x Pro-Bowler Alan Faneca or somebody like that.

Others were better, but AJ Duhe was pretty good

With a 15 year career as a RB (all with one team), Kevin Faulk has to be in the conversation.
Bert Jones needs mention as well.

Johnny Robinson was All-AFL nearly his entire career, sits in the Chiefs' Hall of Fame and has a Super Bowl ring.

Also, Eddie Kennison had a decent career. And Dwayne bowe had made a name for himself after only a few years in the league.

I haven't updated this stuff in a while, but just going my memory from some of my older posts ( LINK), fwiw these are the LSU players with the most years in the pros:
BTW, Leonard Marshall was named the NFL's "Defensive Lineman of the Year" 2 years in a row in 1985 & 1986, making him a more decorated pro player as a D-lineman than Henry Thomas or Anthony McFarland (or Ronnie Estay, who went to the CFL).
