On Thursday, wide receiver [autotag]Kayshon Boutte[/autotag] joined an illustrious list of LSU football players who have worn the No. 7 jersey.
No. 7 has typically been reserved for a star playmaker, a guy who can change a game in one play. From what we have seen so far, Boutte certainly fits that description.
The modern legacy of the No. 7 at LSU begins with [autotag]Patrick Peterson[/autotag] who was then followed by [autotag]Tyrann Mathieu[/autotag] and [autotag]Leonard Fournette[/autotag]. By that point, it was more than just a number. It had to be earned.
Players who earned the jersey have played a pivotal role in LSU’s success over the years. Let’s rank the best players to wear the number and see where Boutte projects to fit in.
