I appreciate that Glen Dorsey stayed and played all 4 years of his eligibility at LSU, unlike today's high profile college athletes that Bolt for the NFL after a redshirt Sophmore or Junior year. Clearly, many of them should have never left and either had a short NFL career or were never drafted.

T-Bob once said Akiem was un-blockable in practice. Too bad we screwed that one up.

More dominant than Dorsey, the best DT in my opinion in LSU history. He made plays!!!

Remember Auburn took the cheap shot on Dorsey in 2007 so he played hurt the rest of the year. He probably would have been more dominant.

Good list.Kyle Williams is another.Not typical, but seemed to be better in the NFL than college. But was still good here.

Chad Lavalais was pretty good, too.

Glen Dorsey could've had 10 stars next to his name and lived up to it. Dude was incredible.
