I remember when somebody pointed out the other day that Eli threw to Reuben Randle, was intercepted by Eric Reid, and Odell Beckham had to chase him down to make the TD saving tackle.

Randle was literally 1-2 spots away from being a first rounder, and Reid and OBJr were both taken in the top 15.

it reminds me of when USC and Ohio State use to be all the names you heard about 5-8 years ago when announcers called out their colleges during the NFL games. Now you have LSU players running all over the place making all kinds of plays.

Just going off my memory, if you add in Bowe, LaFell, Beckham, Landry, Hill, Blue, and Mett's yardage from week 11, you'd have around 800 yards from LSU players. Crazy thing is, only take the players from last year's team, and you'd still have around 700 yards.

I want to say the last LSu WR that started and didn't go int eh first three rounds was Terrence Tolliver.

I never really understood that one either, he was pretty good.

OBJ-1st
JArvis-2nd
RR-2nd
Terrence- undrafted
Byrd- 7th round, but he was in that serious car accident before the draft
Lafell- 3rd
Early Doucet-3rd
Buster Davis- 1st
Dwayne Bowe-1st
Michael Clayton- 1st
Devery Henderson-2nd

and there are people who say they wouldn't send a 5 star WR son to LSU
