Failed bunch of drug tests and got kicked off the team. So yes.

He didn't do it deliberately to get kicked off the team. He made stupid decisions, as most kids in their 20s do. But he recognizes his mistakes and is as pro-LSU as they come. Let me reiterate: he almost won the HEISMAN (nearly impossible for defensive players) and is a starter for an NFL TEAM. That is an unbelievable feat. You have unreasonably high standards if you think otherwise.

I like honey badger.
But the question is former tigers and lost potential.
By the fact he got the boot means he lost his potential.
Nothing to argue here.
I'm glad he got his stuff together but that has nothing to do with his LSU days.

Fine, I'll say it. Russell "Slash" Shepard. If you saw his vision and speed against North Carolina you would be pondered why he didn't get more touches.



Because he had stone hands, went down at first contact, and although he had great straight-line speed, had little ability to make guys miss.

Swan was amazing. He was the first person I had ever heard of with spinal stenosis. Best hs player I ever witnessed at Green Oaks.

Dude was a phenom. I just loved watching him play and watching the team with him on it. Such a huge F Up on a great but oddly dysfunctional season. He's at the top of my list of guys I wish could have played out their time.

Roe was put on medical hardship for his ankle issues.....not stenosis.

JR was not great in my book. Well, maybe for LSU (only because we suck at QB most years). The dude couldn't read defenses and never got past his first read. The Raiders were the perfect fit. He did have a great arm though (which is why that shitty organization drafted him first overall). To stick with the position, Sheppard was totally discarded because he didn't fit the scheme. If he is playing for CUM or Gus Malzahn, he probably has a ring. He is at the top of my list for lost potential.

How about Ryan Miller, center.

I always thought he'd be a great center for us but he never panned out. Good guy though.
