re: The Heisman, the offense, the recruiting classes, the LSU brand nationally

quote:

Every element of LSU football has been elevated nationally, so is Joe Burrow the greatest Tiger ever? Billy Cannon, Pistol Pete, Shaq, Ben McDonald, hard to name an LSU athlete that had a greater impact on the LSU brand nationally, LSU fans are saying Joe’s the greatest Tiger ever

---

Billy Cannon won a Heisman ('59) and a National Championship ('58) but not in the same season.

Pistol Pete changed the game and set NCAA scoring records that will never be broken. But never won an SEC Championship.

Shaq was a freak of nature and a great statesman and personality for LSU but never made it to the second weekend of March Madness.

Ben McDonald was a great pitcher who got things started with LSU baseball. Great Ambassador for LSU and #1 draft pick but no National Titles.

Joe Burrow may win the Heisman and SEC Championship and National Championship in one season and will hold multiple LSU/SEC/NCAA records and is a great statesman and personality and could be the #1 Draft Pick. IF he checks all of those boxes, He will be the greatest LSU athlete of all time.
