Jimmy Taylor - Fullback, 1957

Viewed as one of the most complete football players to have ever played the game, Jimmy Taylor was named an All-American by the Football Writers Association of America-Look in 1957. Voted the MVP of the 1958 Senior Bowl, he went on to a legendary pro career with the Green Bay Packers (1958-66) and New Orleans Saints (1967) and was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976. Taylor is also a member of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

In his first game as head coach of LSU in 2005, on the team's first offensive possession, Miles gave the green light on a fake punt call, which was drawn up for punter Chris Jackson - a high school quarterback and then third baseman on the LSU baseball team - to throw it to the gunner if he was left unopened by the block team. On not only did Miles give the green light on the call, but he did so with the Tigers backed up and punting out of their own end zone. Jackson completed the pass and picked up the first down, and LSU went on to win the road game in dramatic fashion.
