Nope. That's what they're listed as.






Jesus Christ. I always thought Dee was 6'5", Sullivan was 6'6", and Davis was 6'3". This is on LSU's site?

6-5, 6-6, 6-3 are the more accurate heights.

That's what I was thinking. If Sullivan is really 6'7" and he makes an NFL team he will instantly be a Madden legend

Next Brian Finneran.

The listed heights may not be completely accurate, but OP has what LSU has them listed as.

Moving the WR’s doesn’t help the blocking much imo, but could create a mismatch in passing game.

This

And just because this is the first we're hearing about this doesn't mean it's something the coaches just came up with. For all we know they've been contemplating it for a while but just wanted to see how the young wide receivers looked before making a final decision.

And how the hell is this that big of a negative. We have something like 11 scholarship receivers. Not all of them are getting significant playing time this year. If we can move one or two inside and get another threat on the field, how is that a problem?

Stephen Sullivan is the guy for that.

Stephen Sullivan 6-7 235 
Dee Anderson 6-6 229 

Obviously, it would take a ton of work, but if either of these guys could put on 20-30 lbs, they would be a matchup nightmare next year and would have a shot at the next level.

If only it was as easy as doing a position change like in Madden or NCAA Football R.I.P..

6’7” 235 damn. Honestly I think Sullivan is just growing into a TE. I really don’t see this as s bad thing for him.

Just looked it up and Graham was 6’6” 260 at the combine. That really doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch if Sullivan focuses on it.

Hell if Wade didn’t have such a loaded incoming class, I would think he would give him a look. 6’7” dude with college WR speed and agility would make one hell of an athletic wing.

I think the depth was probably fine until Pettigrew got hurt. He got hurt 2 weeks before our first practice.


This really shouldn't even need to be stated, but of course...

I don’t know O maybe a good time to do this was earlier in the offseason, perhaps allow said WR to bulk up a bit, learn the position, but hey whatever...hey maybe move Jacoby Stevens there for a few days


I wanted to disagree with you until the last part. That’s good stuff

Drake Davis isn't physical enough to play TE. It's not going to be him for sure.

I really like Anderson and Sullivan...We need to utilize them! TE or wherever, gotta get them the ball..

Yeah, like he knew Pettigrew was going to rupture his ACL. He should have known. DUH...

Except he isn't really 6'7". 6'5" is probably closer to his actual height.

It won’t be Davis for sure. My money would be on Anderson.


I don’t know man but none of them are built to do anything but be pass catchers. What SEC defensive ends could they block?? Baffling to me.
