LSU Football History: Top-10 single-season receiving leaders

Seven of the 10 best receiving seasons in program history have come since 2000.

For much of LSU’s history, its football identity centered around physical defense and a ground-and-pound rushing attack.

However, over the last few decades, we’ve seen the offense modernize to utilize more spread formations. With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that seven of the 10 best single-season receiving performances in program history have come since the turn of the century.

The Tigers have put all sorts of talented receivers into the league since then from [autotag]Early Doucet[/autotag] to [autotag]Dwayne Bowe[/autotag] to [autotag]Odell Beckham Jr.[/autotag] to [autotag]Jarvis Landry[/autotag] to [autotag]Justin Jefferson[/autotag] and, most recently, [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag].

Here are the 10 best single-season receiving performances in LSU history.

Top 101 LSU football players of all time: No. 80-71

We continue to look at LSU’s greatest players, from a guy that fought in WWII to a dynamite QB-WR combo.

LSU football has been around for a long time. Since 1893, to be exact.

In that span, plenty of great football players have come through the program. Before we begin the journey of the 2022 season, I thought I’d take a stab at ranking the 101 best players in LSU history.

We’ve already released the player rankings from No. 101-91 and No. 90-81

I have tried to avoid recency bias as much as possible. It can be hard to get enough information about older players, but I did my best to get them about in the ballpark of where they should be.

Anytime there’s a list this big, people will disagree. There’s so little that separates the 50th player from the 70th, and so on.

I tried to balance consistency over multiple seasons with some players that had one great year. Both have been rewarded here. With that in mind, let’s continue the countdown.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill spotted drinking pickle juice on sidelines

Pickle juice does wonders for cramping, apparently.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill was spotted drinking a strange looking liquid out of a small bottle on the sidelines shortly after his first-quarter touchdown grab.

No, Hill wasn’t taking a shot of liquor on the sidelines, as amusing as that would be. In fact, he was drinking pickle juice. Why pickle juice, you ask? Well, last week Hill dealt with cramping in his hamstring against the Miami Dolphins. He pulled up late in the game and many fans thought that he was injured. He spent the week listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury due to that cramping.

Apparently, pickle juice has long been used as a remedy to help treat cramps for NFL players. CBS Sports broadcaster Tony Romo even noted that he’d had the drink before.

Check it out:

Hopefully, the Chiefs are able to get Hill’s cramping under control, because he’s been one of the top receivers in the first half against the Saints. As of my writing, he’s caught 3-of-5 passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. He also has a carry for a yard. Hill already has tied Dwayne Bowe’s single-season record for receiving touchdowns in this game. With another touchdown grab, he’ll be able to break the record.

They’ll need him at his best if they’re going to hang on to the lead in this game.
