Tyrann is the single most exciting player I have seen play in Tiger Stadium. Congrats to him on a great career

I don't care how or what position, just find this guy a position somewhere in the football program if he wants in.

He was a total game changer. Not many players had that kind of impact on a football game as he did in college.

Congrats Tyrann..

Would he have any type of pull on today’s kids? Not many of them will remember his glory days at LSU the same way we do


Also, do yall think it’s possible LSU tells him to get some experience before jumping on their staff?



Full disclosure: I love honeybadger. My favorite LSU player of all time. Just playing devils advocate here

Come home.

I’m sure there’s an assistant to the regional director of player personnel position we can make.

The QBs win the Hesimans but this dude is the best pure football player I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime.

Best college player I have ever seen. I think the 2012 team would have won it all if he had played that year.

Never has, nor likely will be, a football player like TM7 who was able to translate backyard football instincts into real games on a regular basis. It was apparent on day 1 against UNC as a freshman.

So I guess the immediate question is: Is he a HOFer?


Maybe in 20 years. Maybe.

He was so good at football because of innate instincts. We have no idea if he can coach technique, etc. I love him, one of my favorites ever, but that doesn't mean he'd be a good coach.

He’s a borderline HOF guy. If they allowed him to return kicks after his first year, pretty sure he would be an easy, HOF candidate. On the contrast, his career may have been shorter. The injuries earliness career cost him a step or two, But I don’t know if we as good as an all around, every down defensive back with that sort of career in the near future. He could cover, tackle in space, stop the run, call the coverages, and of course make plays.
