Pro day is always a big day for the LSU Tigers.
Each year, the NFL descends on Baton Rouge to see some of the NFL draft’s top talent. Last year alone, LSU had 14 players selected, which tied the NFL record most selections from one school in the modern seven-round era.
On Wednesday, all 32 NFL teams were represented at LSU’s pro day, with wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase the featured attraction.
And Chase, a projective top-five selection, did not disappoint.
However, Chase wasn’t the only former Tiger who stood out on Wednesday. Fellow wide receivers, Terrace Marshall Jr. and Racey McMath, both ran the 40-yard dash in under 4.4 seconds.
Safety JaCoby Stevens, a standout defender for the past three years, also had a big day on Wednesday.
Stevens answered some questions about his ability to play safety at the next level. While there was some talk Stevens may be too heavy for safety in the NFL, he weighed in at 216 pounds and ran the 40 in 4.5 seconds. Regardless of where he plays, Stevens will make an impact early in his professional career.
So, where could Stevens be picked in the 2021 NFL draft?
Here are NFL draft projections for each of the nine former Tigers who participated in LSU’s pro day.
