Def not the most successful, but for someone who was not spectacular at LSU, Danny McCray has played awfully well in the pros. Had a huge 4th quarter forced fumble Sunday Night and made a sensational play to almost down a punt at the 1.

Drake Nevis also played well in his rookie debute!

Devery Henderson is not pro-bowl level, but he's been a starting WR for most of his 8 years as a pro.

Henderson has a ring and seems to be doing ok.

Booger McFarland didn't do so bad for himself either.

Ryan Clark's been starting for the Steelers for a while and won multiple super bowls. He is, however, lacking the individual awards like the other guys.

Kyle Williams is another fairly recent one who is thought to be one of the best at his position.

LB Eric Hill has about 10 solid years in the NFL, mostly with Arizona.

QB Bert Jones was the 2nd overall draft pick, played about 9 years, went to 2 Pro Bowls & was NFL MVP in '76.

Kyle Williams was a pro-bowler this past year. Maybe he can keep it up.

He was my next door neighbor when I was a kid. I wish he would've done better in the league. He had nothing but back injuries that ultimately ended his career. He's doing well back home in the LC though.

IMO Kevin Faulk

He wasn't ever the shining star on the team but he played an active role with the patriots for 11 straight seasons and walked away with 3 super bowl rings!

Was also on the:

New England Patriots All-2000s Team
New England Patriots 50th Anniversary Team

Eugene Daniel spent 14 years in the league as a defensive back. I'm not sure very many 8th round picks have careers like that.

13 with Indy, 1 with Baltimore.

Finished with 38 interceptions (3 TD).

He was never a huge star, not even at LSU. Just a guy who brought his lunchbox to work every day, did his job very well, and went home.

He was always one of my favorite Tigers, though.
