We could have done more with him, but really he wasn't THAT good.

No arm, too small to be a RB, not great hands.

He was fast, and he was shifty, but that doesn't always equal Football success.

I hate to shite on a player, but there were probably not that many better uses for him.

This.

I'm glad LSU players are making it to the pros and doing well. However, Les's job is not to develop players for the pros. It's to develop the talent while they are at LSU and utilize that talent to compete and win championships. while they are at LSU. Selfishly that is what I care about. Does it help recruiting that they can see how many players from LSU go to the NFL? Yes absolutely. But winning SEC Championships and playing for National and winning National Championships also helps as well. But I want to see those recruits develope and win while at LSU not after they leave their junior year.
