The 2020 NFL regular season is now over, and postseason awards are starting to be announced. On Friday, the NFL announced its 2020 All-Pro team, and several former LSU stars were honored.
Kansas City safety Tyrann Mathieu was LSU’s lone representative on the first team. Mathieu played in 15 games in 2020, recording 62 tackles and six interceptions for the Super Bowl champions.
Justin Jefferson was named second-team All-Pro. The rookie receiver broke numerous rookie receiving records during his first season with the Minnesota Vikings. Jefferson finished the season with 88 receptions for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns.
Jefferson’s 1,400 receiving yards were an NFL rookie record.
Devin White, Tre’Davious White and Jamal Adams all joined Jefferson on the second team.
Devin White finished No. 6 in the NFL in total tackles in 2020 and also recorded a career-high nine sacks.
Tre’Davious White had 54 tackles, 11 passes defended and three interceptions for the Bills in 2020. White has become one of the NFL’s premier cornerbacks in his young career.
Adams, who was traded from the New York Jets to the Seattle Seahawks just before the season, had a career year in his new home.
In 12 games, Adams finished with 83 tackles and 9.5 sacks. The 9.5 sacks were an NFL record for a defensive back.
With the exception of Jefferson, the other former LSU stars will participate in the NFL playoffs.
