Somebody dig up one of the threads where folks were saying he was too small to make it in the NFL.

He is my favorite player to ever come through LSU and will always be. His story is one of the best you will ever hear.

I'm so glad his legacy as a tiger isn't marred by the way his LSU career ended. One of the best of all time, happy for him!

They are saying he's going to become the highest paid safety in the league

His health is a concern. Before the Cards invest too awful much they will want to see him play a complete season. IMO, he is the most valuable player on their D - no disrespect to PP. when he went down last year, their odds dropped. Guy is a game changer as he proved in college. Freaking knee injuries, particularly for someone that relies on quickness and leverage,are tough to overcome.

I'm most proud of the success he has had off the field turning his life around. I knew if he could control that than football would be easy for him

Every time I worried that he was too small for the league, I'd flashback to that open-field spear tackle TM7 mad on that bama TE.

Everybody know the play I'm referring to? It was D-O-P-E.

As great as he was I was a non believer thought he was too short and his off the field woes were too much to overcome. Sure am happy to be eating crow on that

too short


Saw him play the jags out here I was 3 rows up. He may be a little short but he is one stout dude now. He has definitely added some muscle to his frame. Even in the NFL he just makes plays like he did at LSU.

I felt he was too small to play corner.

Hell of a safety though

The most electric playmaker I've seen in person. He changed every game he played in for the Tigers.
