This is impossible. So many great players you have to leave off. Especially the last 30 years or so.

So many GREAT players. I wish they would all stay 4 years so we could compare apples to apples. Here goes:
1. Tommy Casanova
2. Billy Cannon
3. Jimmy Taylor
4. Bert Jones
5. Kevin Faulk
6. Alan Faneca
7. Glen Dorsey
8. Tyrann Mathieu

NOTE: I think one of the criteria should be consensus All-American if you want to narrow things down considerably. I tried to mix up the offense and defense.
Devin White and Ali Highsmith would have been my top 2 linebackers. So many awesome players. You could almost start a thread on position by position and still have valid arguments for every position. Wow! That was a tough one.

A list of all time LSU players that includes Hester and excludes Casanova is laughable. I like Hester and I understand he’s a fan favorite but he’s not in the same league as a score or more of former Tiger players.

This is a lot tougher for me than most of you realize. Hester delivered victories over Florida 2007, Alabama 2007 (he helped this at least) and #1Ohio State BCSNC. (third touchdown and huge runs throughout) Hester is a bull. Tommy was a special teams, safety, cornerback ace. Man these two were money.

+1. Josh Reed was incredible. He was a running back that could catch the football w the best of them. When he ran his routes he usually had 5+ yards of separation on the defender. He was extra special. Crazy good!

He was a true All American converted receiver. (originally a running back)
