Cameron priming LSU prospects for NFL
Cam Cameron is molding LSU's top offensive players into elite NFL prospects. It seems like I highlight an LSU offensive player in my notebook every week, but the Tigers have a loaded lineup that features a number of NFL-ready playmakers at key skill positions. Although the level of offensive talent in Baton Rouge has always been up to NFL standards, the addition of Cameron as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach has quickly transformed some of the Tigers' top skill-position talent into elite prospects in the minds of many NFL evaluators. From the starting quarterback (Zack Mettenberger) to the workhorse running back (Jeremy Hill) to a pair of dynamic pass catchers (Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, Jr.), the Tigers trot out a star-studded lineup that is as pro-ready as they come.

Now, I know that there are several schools capable of making similar claims, but the presence of a former NFL head coach/offensive coordinator sets the Tigers apart. Cameron has installed a pro-style system that features NFL blocking schemes, protection calls and passing concepts, which allows scouts to see the Tigers' top players execute assignments that will be required on the next level. Moreover, scouts get an opportunity to see prospects perform against elite competition and assess how well they are able to assimilate into a system that taxes them mentally (sight adjustments, hot reads and changing protection calls) under pressure. Factor in the benefit of receiving a full season's worth of coaching under the guidance of a longtime NFL offensive mind, and the games of Mettenberger, Hill, Landry and Beckham have appeared far more polished and refined than a season ago. With scouts always looking for players on the ascent, the arrival of Cameron has undoubtedly boosted the draft stocks of the Tigers' talented offensive quartet.

Before Cameron is done at LSU, I predict we will have at least one legitimate Heisman Trophy contender. He'll hand pick someone who fits the mold, develope them, and have the NFL ready in 2-3 seasons.
