Terry Bradshaw
Peyton Manning
Bert Jones
Marshall Faulk
Warrick Dunn
ETA: Steve Van Buren
Kevin Mawae (OL are never popular on these lists, but he is a future NFL HOFer)
can't think of many top defenders right now from La.

Yes....good one

The best football player from the state of Louisiana is Peyton Manning, with Terry Bradshaw just barely below him at #2.
Bradshaw has more championships, but Manning is the gold standard of modern NFL quarterbacking.
Marshall Faulk also rates high.

Now that is a true player with a real passion for the game! GREAT motor that never quit running, the kid gave it his all. Real student of the game...a very cerebral running back.

Peyton Manning for Louisiana and Billy Cannon for LSU get my vote.

Jerry Stovall was 2nd in the Heisman Voting and really should have been the 2nd Heisman Trophy Winner at LSU. Played in the NFL with the St. Louis Cardinals. He should get some consideration.

He was Tennessees, but yeah he would be up there along with Faulk.
Posted on 6/4/09 at 3:42 pm to Brendoni
cecil collins should be on the list

Tommy Casonova with Johnny Robinson a close second.

He also has deceptive speed.

Yeah, but you couldn't really say Leonard Marshall was/is int he same league as Manning, Bradshaw, or Faulk could you? Ed Reed will probably go down as the best defensive player from La.
