My vote would be Mike Clayton. What a huge receiver and an animal on special teams.

Rodney Reed was a 4 year starter at offensive tackle from 2000-2003 being undersized and excelled. He was also an academic all-American. Totally forgotten and never mentioned on here.

Ally Broussard really could have been a great back without that knee injury

He is way overlooked, and it baffles me. He is one of the greatest RBs we've ever had, but his name rarely comes up in that conversation.


He was so exciting to watch. I think a lot of it has to do with Fournette following him. I would take Hill over any other LSU RB in the last 20 years or so.

After years of watching really poor teams and QB play, HerbTyler brought a glimmer of hope that we may one day LSU won’t be average. He was a solid player!

Jarrett Lee... He was a game away from winning the title and becoming a legend.

I’m pretty sure most LSU fans would
think of Dalton Hilliard as having legendary status. He also
had a nice career with the Saints…

Trev Faulk was a beast here with Bradie. He should’ve come back his senior season. Second Team All American, Butkus award semi finalist. Would’ve probably been Preseason First Team All American. Easily First Team ALL SEC with Bradie.
