re: What would our all time best LSU NFL team look like Vs other schools?

Can always fairly accurately guess the age of a poster reading these threads. A lot of recency bias.
Charles Alexander and Dalton Hilliard both>>>Addai
Casanova a starter at CB
Billy Cannon
TE’s covered by another response, neither of OP’s make the top 3 by going back a bit
Several LB’s fall off. Albert Richardson, Mike Anderson, George Bevan, Michael Brooks…

Punter- Donnie Jones 14 yrs in the league

It’s really easy to put Burrow and Daniels in at QB, but Bert Jones was a really good professional QB whose game would stand up against anybody.

Dalton Hilliard deserves more love here than he gets.

Just played on some rough teams in the 80s before being a really quality back for the Saints for a lot of years.

Not sure anyone other than maybe Bama or the Canes would come close to being better.

Football existed before 2000. Notre Dame and USC have the most Hall of Famers. Michigan is 3rd. that does not include a QB that I think will be inducted in 2028 he would make them very formidable

Tigers from the fifties and sixties and seventies who had solid and sturdy NFL careers that deserve consideration. Billy Cannon Billy Truax Tommy Casanova Bert Jones Fred Miller Dennis Gaubatz Steve Van Buren YA Tittle Johnny Robinson

Jim Taylor

Michael Brooks and Al Richardson are starting LBs
Billy Cannon is the starting RB (he is bigger, faster than everyone not named Fournette - it is close with him and Fournette in all measurable but his vision was 100X better)
Mike Anderson should be on there
Bert Jones for damn sure, especially todays game better arm talent than both of those listed
Jerry Stovall as a RB/DB - finished second in heisman - was robbed
Casanova is a starting free safety and there is t a would close to as talented as that guy at safety not named Mathieu

Notre Dame, off the top of my head, would do very well at the likes of QB (Joe Montana), RB (Jerome Bettis), TE (Dave Casper) OL, DL (Alan Page and Bryant Young) and Safety (Harrison Smith and Kyle Hamilton).

WR doesn't feel like a similar strength, though ND does have Tim Brown in the Hall of Fame.

So many people putting Reed on there lists, and while he is an all time great Tiger, he is not in the top 10 of LSU Wr’s at the NFL level

put Chad Jones at Safety

Casanova would be a safety in today’s game. Although he was fast as hell. He was just so big at corner. Go check out his stats in the NFL. Why he is on the stadium. He dwarfed the LSU DBs in a photo from circa 2010.

He was big, VERY FAST and would punish people when he hit them. There’s a reason why he made all pro and the pro bowl so many times in his six short seasons. He was absolutely an excellent football player. He also returned punts.
