I was coming on here to say the same thing. I'm happy for him though. Didn't he also throw a TD this year as well?

He was our 2nd leading wr his senior year. Behind another really good nfl wr...

He was also the jet sweep guy.

Consider he also moved over from D his JR. good move by the coaches despite hindsight fans

I knew he’d be great. All Redemptorist grads achieve greatness.

I bring this up in a lot of Gage threads but he looked absolutely lost at DB in the spring game. I thought he was a waste of a scholarship.

If you’re watching Gage today put on some of his LSU games after. He’s developed into a different looking player since he was here. He’s always had great athletic ability
and he was a famously hard worker while he was at LSU so you’re seeing the fruits of that combination now.

I don't remember even seeing him on the field until Orgeron took over. In the first game (Missouri?) he was catching passes, which made me wonder why Miles never played him.

Like another poster said, Gage was absolutely horrible as a defensive back in the spring game. I felt bad for him because he wanted to play at LSU so much. He waited and waited, and I think he got the final scholarship offer.

I'm happy for him. He was one of the most down to earth players I had class with at LSU. I did save him from failing our class though,he wasn't in the classroom 10 minutes before our final that was a large part of our grade, so I shot him a text. He completely forgot about the final and made it just in time. So I say I did may part in helping him got to the NFL

Edit: saying his name wrong and stuff on purpose

With LSU he had good character but he had hands of stone and dropped many passes. I am so glad he learned how to hang on to the ball, great for him. I watched the game Sunday.

Redemptorist quarterbacks make good pro ball players.

I remember the first game with O as head coach and Gage got significant time at receiver, when I don't remember him playing anything except special teams. I just don't see how 2 coaches can view a player so differently, especially one that was viewed as a hard worker.

There's an ad for a TV or something that ESPN always has up and it's showing Gage laying out for the TD against Auburn

He played db most of his time here and had his best season as a Sr.

I remember when that was actually normal stuff for players.
