He was the fastest kid in school growing up. As an LSU student I loved seeing him play for the Tigers.

HBD Sammy.

I recall stories where he’d have to take ice baths for a couple of days after a game. Usually return to practice after a couple of days.

Enjoyed watching Sammy

Chuck Norris' hairline doesn't recede, his scalp advances! Same with Sammy.

Skinny, helmet way too big for his head but a tough faster than lightning NOLA kid. One of my all time favorite players.
