My picks for the Best LSU players from the 2000 season until present, to build a great NFL team. I personally didn't include any current 2019 team players.
I made this thread because I'm getting tired if seeing the same old names, repeated over & over. The LSU greats, YA Tittle, Billy Cannon, etc. Then the Tommy Casanova & Bert Jones era. I wonder sometimes if people realize Y. A. Tittle was drafted at LSU in 1948, 71 years ago. Nothing against the LSU greats at all, just wanted to see some newer names. Bert Jones was drafted 47 years ago.
Anyway, here's what I think would be a pretty damn strong team from this Century. Tried to get players that had college & some NFL experience.
Offense:
QB: Zach Mettenberger/ Rohan Davey
RB: Leonard Fournette & Jeremy Hill
WR: Jarvis Landry PB
WR: Odell Beckham PB
WR: Dwayne Bowe PB
TE: Robert Royal
LT: Andrew Whitworth PB
RG: Joe Barksdale
C: Ethan Pocic
RG: Trai Turner PB
RT: La'el Collins
Defense:
RE: Danielle Hunter PB
DT: Michael Brockers
DT: Kyle Williams PB
LE: Marcus Spears (rush ) or Barkavious Mingo & (pass)
OLB: Deion Jones PB
MLB: Perry Riley/ Bradie James
OLB: Kwon Alexander PB
CB: Tra'davious White
CB: Patrick Peterson. PB
FS: Tyrann Mathieu PB
SS: Jamal Adams PB
P: Donnie Jones PB / Brad Wing (distance)
K: Cole Tracy
PR/KR: Trindon Holliday
In Rotation: (10 Max.)
*Glenn Dorsey - DT
*Brandon Lafell - WR
Joe Barksdale - OT
*Eric Reid - S PB (weak S)
*Laron Landry- S PB (strong S)
*Mo Claiborne - CB
Rookies:
*Devin White- MLB
*Greedy Williams - CB
PB = Pro Bowler
2020 NFL Draft:
Keeping an eye on: Fulton & Delpit, also Rashad Lawrence & Michael Divinity.
I realize Ethan Pocic is playing Guard in the NFL & doing very well. I moved him to C just for this list.
Who am I missing or forgetting? Actually this list took a while to research. For instance, It's easy to pick Glenn Dorsey over Michael Brockers, due to all his accolades alone. But imo, Dorsey never got completely back to normal after the Auburn chop block game. Ah..Chaz Ramsey. Brockers is a pure Monster. Brockers didn't get all the accolades because he got a draft grade of 1st round, after only playing 2 years at LSU. I was reminded of that when it looked like he was gonna crash into our living room during the last SuperBowl. He's got a few less total tackles, but nearly 3x the Sacks.
*Changed to creating an All-LSU NFL team, players from 2000-Present.
