Burrow obviously.
Billy Cannon for his Heisman.
Honey Badger, best CFB defender I’ve ever seen.
Jayden Daniels?

The only other one you could make a case for is Faulk IMO.

Daniels is a top 2-5 LSU FB player ever, however you want to rank him.

Absolutely.

Any player that puts up career stats in only 2 seasons belongs.

He also has a passing average/ypa higher than Burrow and higher total offense per game.

Glenn Dorsey was the most decorated LSU football player of all time till Mr. Burrow came along. Hes gotta be up there.

Tommy Casanova needs to be included.

Dorsey is overrated somewhat
He didn’t put up stats even for his position comparable to the other greats at that position

Casanova was a star, but who do you put him over? Cannon? You can, but Cannon was LSU’s only Heisman winner in over 100 years of the program till Burrow came along.

hard to carve down to 4. but if he brings home the Heisman, sure.

hard to leave out Kyle Williams.

If he takes the Heisman, I'd say he's a definite contender

Probably not unless he wins the Heisman. I wouldn't put Tyrann Mathieu on there either

You switch Daniels with burrow in 2019, and they are even better.

I said what I said. Call it blasphemy all yall want.

If JD5 wins the heisman then your 3 heisman winners obviously make the cut.

Comes down to 1 spot for any other player so that’d be the debate. Probably impossible to pick just 1 other player. How would you pick one over the other when they play different positions? Would just need to go with next most decorated player.

I'm not ready to agree with this, but I will say Daniels in theory is harder to defend.

Completely agree. As good as Burrow was he couldn't do what Daniels did this year.

It really isn't even close. As a college QB Daniels is much more of a threat than Burrow.

Couldn't disagree more due to Burrow's leadership, toughness and will to win! LSU's all time greatest and QB of the best team of all time. Hard to improve on perfection...

Nah. Not even close. Joe Burrow is at the very top even if Daniel’s wins the heisman.

Joe won the heisman and a national championship.
