So we have ODB, Juice, Randle, etc... They all are doing really well in the NFL. And ppl say, why didn't we throw more yadda yadda... Those guys are fresh and have been able to show out at the combine and in the NFL. If I were an WR recruit with a 4-5 star rating... I'd rather go to LSU, because I'd be well rested and ready for the NFL. Other colleges would run me in the ground and more opportunities to be seriously hurt vs LSU. So basically it's a easy path to the NFL at LSU. Just saying seems this way lately.

It's not about resting. They learn how to catch balls with guys all over them and block at LSU. Skills useful in the NFL. You don't just constantly run free in the NFL like some of the fun and gun offenses in college.

For running backs, it does help their longevity to split reps. Hill, Blue, Ware, etc

If you can ball at LSU at WR, you will play in the NFL and be drafted high. Period.

No better training than going against DBU in practice every day and having to make your QB look good for the most part every game. And you have to block in the NFL and if you are physical and can block coming into the NFL that's a huge advantage over most WRs coming into the league these days.

Why are you acting like they didn't catch 1000 yards their senior seasons?

they didn't get 100 passes because we had 2 elite receivers.

Our WRs are decoys for just about 80% of the time... Running dummy routes for the RB.
