Is it Russell Sheppard that was a big time recruit, failed at LSU, but made it on an NFL team?
Yeah, I was about to list him. He was recruited as a QB, was chased by Texas, USC, Michigan, and Florida in addition to LSU. Was considered the #3 athlete that class, and he was alongside Matt Barkley as the top QB that year.
Coming in, we thought he was probably going to start game one.
I don't think he EVER saw the field as a QB. Caught on in the NFL as a WR/special teams guy.

Kid fell in love with the idea of being a QB, it was never gonna happen. He's collecting NFL pension if he goes WR from the go.
