I mean players who were great while playing for the Tigers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brandon LaFell had 1,700 career receiving yards at LSU before moving on to the NFL.<\/li>\n<li>Malachi Dupre\u2019s best season in Baton Rouge was 2015, when he had 698 receiving yards.<\/li>\n<li>Jarvis Landry had 1,800 receiving yards in his three-year LSU career.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How about Odell Beckham Jr.? The man who is so great as an NFL player that he\u2019s known simply by his initials posted 2,300 receiving yards in his college career.<br \/>\nAll of those players have played wide receiver at LSU since 2010 then gone on to prove they were much better players than they had a chance to show at LSU.<\/p>\n<p>So, it was no surprise to hear that one of the stars of the NFL Combine was D.J. Chark, a wide receiver who averaged two catches per game and scored six total receiving touchdown in his college career.<br \/>\nChark ran a 4.34 40, the fastest of any player at the Combine. He was also impressive in the vertical leap and broad jump.<\/p>\n<p>Chark appears headed for a stellar NFL career, which is great for him.<br \/>\nBut it\u2019s not so great for the coaches in Baton Rouge who are charged with utilizing the awesome talent at their disposal. They clearly need to Tighten Up.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think needs to Tighten Up?
