He paid his debt in full. I will always remember his play on the field and how much he loved and supported LSU. Long live Billy Cannon !

Yes!! That!!

Amen. We are all fallen beings and Billy recognized that. He ministered to some of the forgotten in Angola.

His crimes off the field.
I remember seeing him and Charlie Toller drunk - playing basketball at CHS in the 60’s. Does that qualify as a crime?

I will remember him as a hero. 100% positive in my mind.

Let's address Billy's crimes on the field and look at all he did in his field, He stole games from Bama, Tulane, Clemson, Ole Miss, and many others, as well as cavities from a lot of dental clients. He stole bad and turned it into good. Billy was my boyhood hero--I wanted to be like him as a player--though I never made it. But a positive role model. Even King David--though he committed adultery and murder--is always remembered for the good he did--and even for the Seed that sprouted many years later.

Total desecration and the most in opportune time.
Went school with Cannon in high school and college. He was the best athlete I ever saw.

I don't care one way or another, but the question was what legacy.

He didn’t puss out, owned up to it, like a man. Give me your thoughts/comparisons to his legal issues v. those of Ray Lewis.

Depends on who that person is as to how fans choose to remember that person. Fact.

Some people get second chances. Some people don’t even get one chance.

Most young people don’t even know that. The young in this time have absolutely no knowledge of, or interest in anything that happened 1,3,10, or 20 years ago.

Young’n’s don’t do a lot of research before popping off an opinion. Ironic that the first two Tigers to be put up on the wall have both been to med school.

GTFO with your thinly veiled cries of racism.

He didn’t realize it. Billy Cannon is just another good athlete who’s flawed like us all, and shouldn’t be put on a pedestal, and deserves no more accolades than he’s already received. RIP
