LSU backs havent exactly fared well in the NFL. To a point where as a whole, they haven't been appealing at all. That's not an attempted shot; just the facts.

That's at most universities. Hell look at how bad Bama backs have done despite them being first round talents. It's exceedingly rare to have successful players in the NFL especially at a dying position.

While I do agree with that... which RBs from LSU were drafted high and had big time expectations, outside of Hill and Ridley? Hill is gonna be a good RB in the NFL and Ridley has had 1 really good year and looked promising early on but has since fallen out of favor with Belichick and has a fumbling issue. But he was a 3rd round pick and statistically has outperformed most of the RBs taken ahead of him.

I mean outside of Hill and Ridley, we havent had any RBs taken in the draft before the 3rd round with high expectations recently.

What up Lester?

While I'll agree as a whole, but give me teams that have that many. Addai had some good seasons, Ridley has had some good seasons, faulk had the best of any recently, Davis until he got hurt. Harvey Williams wasn't bad either. Then a slue of guys that just had back up roles.

Does any school have more active backs than we do? Seriously we don't have stars but we have A LOT of backs in the NFL!

Its not really the facts is it.

Addai had a decent career a couple of 1000 yard season
Ridley has had a 100 yard season.
Hill is just starting his career.
