He doesn't need very much to get to the top of statistical categories - but to get to the top of the mountain is particularly tough for a WR.

But, as you suggest - let us assume he catches 70 passes for 1010 yards, 14 TDs - that would put him at #1 career receiving yardage (by a little), #1 career receiving TDs and #3 in career receptions (by 6 behind Wendell Davis and 5 behind Clayton).

That's probably enough - and if he catches closer to 80 passes, would be #1 in all 3 career receiving records. Plus, his key role in the Burrow revolution in 2019, Biletnikoff (which he would be the odds on favorite to win in 2020 with such a season). That should put him as a Top 3 LSU offensive player of all time (with Burrow and Cannon).

Kevin Faulk is the 4th all time leading rusher in SEC history and was 2nd when he finished behind only Walker ahead of Bo Jackson. When Charles Alexander's career ended he was first. He was also 5th in the Heisman voting his Sr year. Dalton Hilliard was 3rd all time in SEC rushing when he finished at LSU. Of course Tommy Hodson was the career passing yards leader when his career ended. We've had a lot of great players come thru here. No disrespect to Chase but being top 3 is a tall order, it took an historic season to vault Burrow up there.
