7. Brandon LaFell, Cincinnati Bengals WR

Drafted in 2010, former LSU Tiger Brandon LaFell ranks No. 7 on the list. Going into his seventh NFL season, LaFell is a veteran compared to the other former Tigers that are ranked above him.

In his six seasons in the league, LaFell has played for both the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots before finding his new home in Cincinnati. It was in 2011 with Carolina that LaFell set the franchise record for the longest pass play in Panther history, a 91-yard touchdown from then rookie QB Cam Newton. Before being released in March by the Patriots, LaFell was a significant piece of the team’s success on offense, helping them clinch playoff berths and a Super Bowl win.

The receiver has been thrown to 488 times in his career, converting 278 of those passes into receptions. LaFell currently totals 20 touchdowns, and is anticipated to be a top receiver in Cincinnati in 2016.
