The countdown is heating up.
With 70% of the list in the rearview mirror, we’re starting to look at not just the best in LSU history, but some of the best the SEC and country as a whole have seen.
Today’s list is full of offensive playmakers, but before we get started, here’s a reminder of the criteria used when putting the list together.
- I’ve tried my best to avoid recency bias.
- Emphasis was placed on players who received all-American honors and other accolades. Leaders of championship teams received a boost as well.
- I gave coach and eyewitness quotes about players significant emphasis.
- Players who made significant contributions over multiple years were given priority over single-season stars. Production mattered more than talent.
Without further adieu, we begin with one of the most talented players to ever put on an LSU helmet and a current NFL superstar.
