5 best LSU football players from the last 10 years
By Zach Ragan
Odell Beckham Jr — WR (2011-2013)
OBJ is known for his big personality, but he’s also a really good football player.
And he was a great player at LSU.
The New Orleans native finished his career at LSU as the Tigers’ No. 8 leading wide receiver of all time. Beckham was an incredibly dynamic player for the Tigers. He was essentially a threat to score every time he touched the ball — whether it was as a wide receiver or a kick returner.
An example of how dynamic Beckham was in Baton Rouge?
He had 15 career touchdowns, 12 of those touchdowns were on plays of at least 25 yards. Seven of those touchdowns were on plays of 50 yards or more. There simply wasn’t a more exciting player in the SEC than OBJ in the early 2010’s.
In 2013, Beckham set a school record with 2,315 all purpose yards. His career total of 4,118 all purpose yards is second in school history.
Beckham was selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. He’s been to three pro-bowls so far during his professional career.
