    I can see putting Faulk over Webster, Ill give you that. Possibly even Peterson. I still say Webster over Faneca though. Webster was a stud for three years. HE should have been All American as a soph.

    Most underrated Tiger was Ben Wilkerson. Also Kyle Williams.

    If just considering college career, I think Dorsey is the obvious choice. There are definitely a lot of others that had outstanding years at LSU but not to the level of Dorsey when factoring individual and team accomplishments.

    As far as the NFL careers are concerned, I guess I'd go with Faneca.

    Faulk was voted to the Patriots all-time team (as a return specialist) a few years ago so that's rather impressive. Just to still be playing in the league at 35 yrs old at RB is incredible. The first time I heard about him was in 8th grade when our winless middle school team was feaing having to play his school. Then, I got to play basketball against him in high school a few times. We entered LSU the same year and I watched him help the team "Bring Back the Magic". If it weren't for Lou Tepper, his senior year at LSU could've been special.

    Wow! I just dont get that. Webster was much more impactful. He had three exceptional seasons as a shut down corner. Hester was a hell of a back, dont get me wrong.

    Just look at the CBs LSU has produced since 2000.

    Peterson, Webster, Claiborne, TM7, Jackson, Zenon, and Daniels.

    Does Dorsey still play? I watch the saints but not much other pro ball. I prefer college ball. The last time I heard of him he was hurt. That was a year or two ago. Doesn't he play for the lions ?

    Kevin Mawae was pretty awesome too, and had a long career in the NFL. Todd McClure also.
