LSU well-represented on NFL Top 100 list: Where do the former Tigers stack up?

Dubbed "NFLSU," the LSU Football program continues to churn out elite NFL talent on an annual basis. At the start of last season, a total of 62 former LSU Tigers were in the NFL, with 40 appearing on active rosters to begin the season. In April's 2025 NFL Draft, a total of seven Tigers were selected, headlined by Will Campbell going fourth overall to the New England Patriots.

The 2025 NFL season is set to begin this week, and the league has released its list of the Top 100 NFL players. LSU received plenty of recognition, with nine former Tigers making the list. LSU's nine alums in the Top 100 are the second-most of any college football program in the country. Furthermore, former LSU players are high on the list, as six Tigers appear in the top-25, and three appear in the top-10.
