So did Randall Gay and he wasn't drafted, Booger was a 1st rounder.

Eugene Daniels would be my choice.

Deverey Henderson, he was a good one for us but I never figured he would have been in the league for as long as he has.

I wasn't surprised with Deverey because he has NFL quality size and speed. However, he has D-III quality hands.

He is still in the pros after 3 years while he will forever be remembered to me as the guy who just missed tipping the ball away. That Florida game marked one of only three times i've ever turned off an LSU game.


Also Perry Riley being the starter over in Washington. Loved me some Riley when he was here.

Wade Richey is a GREAT answer. I think one year at LSU he went 19/29 on Extra Points

Any time I see his name, I feel like I have to mention Claude Wroten, since if I didn't, his name would never be mentioned on this site. He just disappeared from the collective consciousness.

He was bad here. There are a lot of players who have come through LSU who were much better here, and they aren't getting the same playing time. I am amazed he is in the NFL.

Search some of the Danny McCray threads from the past. Pretty funny stuff. A lot of folks felt he was used wrong for some of his career.

I'm going with Todd McClure. very undersized for a center in the NFL, but dude held his own.

McCray is a special teams player. He played bc of injuries last year. He isn't and won't be a starter.

I don't think he is all that surprising.

How...they are a respective second and first round pick?

You might not have thought much of them, but someone felt like they were top 50 players coming out of college.



Wade Richey or Randall Gay are two that would get my vote...

He was certainly solid, but no college punter expects to last in the NFL for nine years.


There are plenty of punters that play in the league for more than 10 years.
