Number 1 is easy. The next 4 are hard. There are so many more names that could go on this list.

1. Joe Burrow
2. Tyrann Matthieu
3. Devin White
4. Leonard Fournette
5. Derrius Guice

Honorable Mention (Not in any order): J’marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Jarvis Landry, OBJ, Malachi Dupre, DJ Chark, Jeremy Hill, Kendall Beckwith, Lamin Barrow, Kevin Minter, Kwon Alexander, Danielle Hunter, Arden Key, Sam Montgomery, Ki Ki Mingo, Jamal Adams, Greedy Williams, Grant Delpit.

What’s your top 5 of the decade?

What did Fournette accomplish from a team standpoint or individual award standpoint, again? I must have missed it.

For starters he led the nation in rushing per game in 2015.

Don’t be dumb.

And the team accomplished nothing and he won zero national awards.

Don’t be dumber. Not to mention crying and walking out on his team when Miles got fired.

Anthony Jennings/Brandon Harris was his qb

LSU had a defense that gave up over 20 points in every single game

But sure, blame Fournette for all of it.


I see you have Jamar Chase on your list. What kind of numbers would Chase have had as a receiver in a Cam Cameron/Les Miles offense with Jennings/Harris throwing the ball?

Leonard was never healthy his junior year, yet still got drafted number 4. Don’t be an idiot. He was on his way to the Heisman with one of the beat seasons by a running back when Les over ran him against Alabama and he only had 30 yards. He played 3 less games than Derrick Henry his Sophomore year and had 260 less yards and 6 less touchdowns in 100 less carries.

Irrelevant to the question. Chase is best WR in country on an SEC Championship team and to my knowledge has never walked out on his team.

Btw, Miles told Chase to play CB.

Feels weird to include PP7 since he played 2/3 years in the 00s, but he won a Thorpe award and was one of our best players ever:

Burrow
TM7
Devin White
PP7
Claiborne

OBJ, LF7, Guice, Adams, Chase are all elite players worthy of consideration. Don’t feel like Delpit is in the conversation despite being an unanimous All-American and Thorpe winner

Les is such a bum he drug the program down from the heights and which Saban left it and he couldn't recruit. Can you believe he wanted Dak at TE? What a fool anyone could see he would be great.

Just my opinion. He was the most talented running back to play college football since Adrian Peterson. He would’ve been in New York with Joe if he played in this offense.

What's that have to do with his performance exactly? 2015 was an incredible year...he couldn't help that his defense and offensive gameplans sucked

RBs only have so much ability to carry a team. He did everything he could and more
