So let's attempt to settle this. Who IS the greatest defensive player in LSU history?

I've either attended, watched, or listened to every LSU game since 1969.
There have been many defensive greats
For me, it comes down to 4 choices.
Casanova
Dorsey
Peterson
HoneyBadger
I've never seen anyone influence a game, singlehandedly,more than Tyrann Mathieu. Could have, and should have, won The Trophy.

Honey Badger was a whole offense himself, and he was a CB/S

Mathieu was special obviously.
Healthy Dorsey was unblockable.

Casanova. Should have won the Heisman himself

I’ve got you by a decade and saw a few more great players.
For a career? It is Casanova.
For the short time he played? Mathieu and it isn’t close.
Michael Brooks needs to be one of the choices because I would give him a nod for 3rd on that list.

I think Dorsey was way overrated. He had some great games, but disappeared a lot. Mathieu was the greatest and impacted every game he played in.

Al Richardson - more tackles than anyone in LSU history (452).

Thomas Dunson - Drop Linebacker.

Michael Brooks.........unblockable

He played with some seriously great dline men. And was paired with Melancon. Great LB, but no comparison to Capone and Brooks.

Good list.
Michael Brooks deserves consideration, as does Devin White.

Tyrann Mathieu he wasn’t the athlete of Peterson buts he the best defensive football player at lsu ever

Honey badger. And to be honest it’s really not even close. Best FOOTBALL player I’ve ever witnessed. The turnovers he caused TDs he scored and returns he had in the biggest of moments.

For the short time we saw him TM was the best.

Honey Badger was one of the most disruptive defensive players I've ever seen in 2011. His 2010 season capping off with the bowl against A&M wasn't a shabby appetizer either. It's him.
