For those who dont want to see the video.

1. Patrick Peterson
2. Shaq
3. Dylan Crews
4. Joe Burrow
5. Chad Jones

He gives his reasons on the video. What are everyone's thoughts on his list?

He's entitled to his opinion, there is some bias there from personal relationships, but regardless of how he ranked them it's hard to argue with the greatness of the 5 guys he mentioned.

Pound for pound, Honeybadger needs to put himself on the list.

He had the best defensive season in LSU history. He was better his sophomore year than Charles Woodson was when he won the Heisman.

It is hard for me to have a list of LSU's greatest Athletes without including Pistol. However, I do like his list and understand why he has who he has on it.

My list would be:

1. Pistol
2. Shaq
3. Joe Burrow
4. Dylan Crews
5. Seimone Augustus

Angel Reese could overtake Seimone depending on how she finishes her career at LSU but thats my list as it currently stands.

Like most on this board, Badger wasn’t old enough to experience Todd Kinchen. Guy was a freak of nature

Solid list. Surprised to see Chad Jones, but he was a 2-sport player. And really good too

Crazy to think of the amazing athletes left off the list. I mean Pistol Pete anyone? Billy Cannon? I could tax my old man brain and come up with a dozen more that could have an argument about being in the list.

I wasnt suprised to see him on his list. Chad is underrated by a lot of people. He helped LSU win a title in 2 major sports and was a key contributor in both sports. Dude even pitched a few times.

I watched the video, hard to argue his choices given his rationale/ the on-the-spot nature of the question.

Side notes:

1) Really happy PatPete was there for Tyrann as a "big brother" at LSU and in the NFL (and obviously you can tell Tyrann is too)

2) Gotta love how Tyrann loves LSU

3) Shout out to Chad Jones

IMO, I don't see where it's anywhere possible for Angel Reese to overtake Seimone. Hell, before she even be in that conversation, she would have to overtake Sylvia Fowles and that's a steep mountain to climb.

Pete Maravich has to be on that list.

Chad Jones was a great athlete but wouldn't even be top 15.

Olympic champ/21-time All-American Esther Jones
World Champ/20-time All-American Muna Lee

Very few people here will even think about those two.

If Seimone had Mulkey as her coach she wins at least 3 Titles.
