Casanova not on defense? But @ FB, a position he never played! And over All-American & NFL Hall of Fame FB Jimmy Taylor.

Except for the nickel & punt returns he's not even the best DB @ LSU this year. JEZ No love for Claiborne ? Or Hall of Fame DB Johnny Robinson?

cant argue that, but faulk also returned punts and kick offs and was a way better receiver than hilliard.

Hilliard had 120 receptions for 1113 yards. Faulk had 600 yards receiving in his career at LSU...but yeah, he was a way better receiver than Hilliard.....not really.

Dude rushed for over 4K in his career while his running mate Gary James amassed over 2,300 yards during the same four year span. Hilliard>Faulk


not sure how that makes Hilliard better. Faulk ran for 4000+ and Mealey put up comparable numbers to James as his backup. Im too young to remember Hilliard/ James though. guess you had to be there.

TE should be David LaFleur. There is a reason he was a 1st round draft pick.

C should be Kevin Mawae mainly because he could swallow Nacho.

P- Chad Kessler for now at least

K- Josh Jasper > Jackson

Tommy Casanova not on there is funny.

I think it's almost impossible for this list to be accurate. Too many different era's to choose from. Game evolves, players bigger and stronger. But it does feel good as a tiger fan to have this discussion because it shows the talent we have and can look forward to players/recruits that may be on this list in years to come!! Geaux Tigers!!

Hate to tell you youngons. Cannon won the Heisman and is probably the only player that was good enough to play today. Freakish size, speed, and strength. All of which, has been documented.

Uh LSUHack I posted above my list it was players I saw play in person. I did mention players like Tinsley, Cannon, Taylor and a few others should be on LSU's all time team but I did not see them play. I listed the best of the ones I saw play and clearly stated it!
