Johnny Robinson

Played two positions on a national championship team
.
Led both the AFL and NFL in interceptions

Amazingly won the SEC singles and doubles tennis championships

Won a Super Bowl where he intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble

Seven times first-team All AFL and is the winningest player in AFL history.

It's almost shameful how little LSU fans know about this former great.

First name I thought of was Joseph Addai. He doesn't get talked about a lot but he made a lot of plays for us in big games.

Second name I thought of was Shyrone Carey.

Kevin Faulk All the praise he gets isn’t nearly enough.

I would have said Mealey before Faulk. Faulk is universally recognized as the one player/signing that turned the program around. He is not underrated at all. We all appreciate what he did for the program. Everyone knows without him we would have been stuck in a quagmire for several more years and probably never would have gotten Saban to come here realizing potential of huge recruits. He is not overrated, but he is definitely appreciated for all he did for the program.

THANK YOU.

We’ve been working tirelessly for years to try and make my grandfather’s name more prominent. Him not being in the Hall of Fame is a travesty. I’ve looked up to him my whole life. He taught me the position of safety throughout my years of playing football, and he can still kick my arse in tennis to this day.

jk, he has got to be the most underrated Tiger, and most disrespected by NFL HoF voters, he is certainly one of the greatest Tigers of all time and among the GOAT NFL players too, imo
