Two years ago he was a rising star, since then, he just seemed to disintegrate.

Really hope he catches on as an UDFA.

Had too much talent in front of him

Any other year and he's a starter and on the field alot, but with the WR Trio and Moss, it's hard to find room for others.

I think he’ll get a shot at an nfl roster, hopefully he makes the best of it

For a big guy he had struggled to "play big"...make the contested catch. He's not good at getting separation which means most of his catches are contested...especially on the next level. UDFA is likely his ceiling.

Sullivan and Dillon got lost in the rotation....I think the could be solid pickups in the pros....

Kinda remind me of when Arkansas had McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis.....

Hillis didn't see the field as much at Arkansas, but he had a decent stretch in the pros...

He's going to be at the Senior Bowl this week. Has a good chance to impress.

And don't forget that James Wright was drafted in the 7th round out of LSU after recording only 25 catches in four years. Wright spent a couple years on the Bengals roster as well. Sullivan has 46 catches in his LSU career.

If he has a good showing at the Senior Bowl and LSU's Senior Day, someone will take a chance on him considering his measurables.

Never could create good enough separation where as we have other guys who could, and if they didn't, very consistent catching the ball by comparison still.

He has the measurables to be a great pro.

We just had studs in front of him is all. Its rough but that happens when you go to a blue blood like LSU

I feel like Dillon started the upward trajectory of the program with the huge catch and run for a TD against Auburn. Both were good role players for LSU. It's just that LSU was stacked with receiving talent on levels unseen at LSU.

Don’t be surprised if Sullivan gets drafted on the last day.

One great thing these guys have going for them is the massive crowd of scouts, GMs, and coaches we will have on attendance at our pro day. Probably be the most ever for LSU.

Just increases their chances of getting drafted if they have a good day.

As a WR, When your best trait is blocking, you’re in trouble. He was never open. That’s pretty much the bottom line

I still remember Wright having his best game as an LSU player the weekend his brother was on his basketball official visit. It worked.

Watching championship highlights , he was on the field for several TD’s so I guess they used him for blocking.

He'll make an NFL roster. He's a talented WR, just got buried behind some elite talent at that position.

He became a leader off the field.

He was definitely in mind for the role that Moss had
Since Moss finally got healthy and beat him out it ended up being his time
