Just saw this on FB, anyone know if this is legit or photoshopped? If it's legit, where is it at?


Don't care if already posted, search function sucks.

Yeah that's real. They put up a couple in Atlanta. He's a really smart kid.

I think they are shopped. If you look at the other one they both are on the same poll with the same little paint chip on it

That's photoshopped. They actually put those up, but these are proof of concept.

The images that are floating around are photoshopped proofs, but they will be real billboards up in Atlanta this week

I know that had some in Dallas for the Oregon game so I figured they were real.

Dunno if it's photoshopped but he got props earlier this year in TS for being an academic all american.

The guy is really smart. And he goes out on the field and kicks arse!

His HS coach did say he was the smartest athlete he had ever coached. I guess the proof is in the GPA.

It is a real billboard, but this picture in the thread is not a picture of the billboard it is a picture of the mock-up released by LSU that is why it is confusing a lot of people

There have been LSU billboards on I-75 and I-85 in and around Atlanta for months now. Most conspicuous is the one one I75 southbound just south of exit 265 at Marietta. It's a multi-customer billboard, but one of the four that flash up for 20-or-so seconds at a time is pure LSU!

NO. The proof was keeping his head, and recognizing the trick play to steal the ball from Bama's TE. GPA is nice as well.

THIS picture is shopped. It's only a rendering of the billboard, not a picture of the actual billboard. It is up in ATL though.

Isn't he only a sophomore? Was he red shirted?

If not then it just means he made a 3.3 his freshman year right?

I'm not trying to hate, I'm just wondering if there weren't any better candidates.
