Seriously. Besides Stallings, I have no idea who any of those people are.
Von Miller #2 draft pick last year and was selected to the pro bowl?
Dat Nguyen, the first Vietnamese American to play in the NFL. Played for the Cowboys for 7 seasons, 516 tackles. He played well above his size. Was the spiritual leader for our defense while at A&M.

Yeah I left him off by accident. Definitely belongs on there.

No kidding, when I was a kid, you either wanted a Frank Thomas or Ken Griffey Jr. baseball card.

So many young fans don't even know about Jimmy Taylor and Steve Van Buren. Both are NFL Hall of Famers along with YA Tittle.
Also for a non-basketball school LSU has done pretty well by having 3 members of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players of All-Time (Pistol, Shaq, and Pettit).
Here is one of LSU's most famous athletic alums that most would never list here:
SEC Champion Pole Vaulter: Dr. James Andrews, who has probably performed surgery on more famous athletes in the country than anyone.

This is true. I don't know much about them.
I am still surprised I'm the only one showing Warren Morris any love.

I can't see myself putting two baseball players in the Top 5.
And, with regard to their careers at AUBURN, Tim Hudson was a better and more valuable player than Frank Thomas was.

No particular order:
Namath, Alexander, Ingram, D. Thomas, and Robert Horry.
I know Bart Starr was much better in the NFL than at Alabama, but as far as a recognizable face that you're proud to say played at Alabama, you can't not have him on a list. Especially if that list includes Alexander and Robert Horry. I'll give a pass on Ingram since he won the Heisman, I see that arguement.

I am guessing the no coaches thing is the reason, but he was an athlete first so he has to be included.
My list would be Spurrier, Tebow, Emmitt, Wuerffel and then I am going to cheat and say the 04s.
