What about QB Bert Jones, he was named MVP in the pros. And he had a great run at QB at LSU (unfortunately he didn't become our starting QB until the last few games of his junior season).
CB Tommy Casanova was a 4-time All-Pro for the Bengals (1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977), before quitting football in 1977 to go become a doctor. He was probably the best all-around football player at LSU (he returned punts, kick-offs, and even played at running back). He even made the cover of Sport's Illustrated while at LSU (with the headline: "Tommy Casanova of LSU, Best Player in the Nation."). In 2000, the Walter Camp Football selected Casanova for their All-Century team, the only LSU player to make it.
