Delivered the dagger against them in 2008 and 2009.

OBJ, Jefferson and Chase are good despite being owned by Bama while in college. But overall they have a ways to go to reach Julio.

I'd say him and Jefferson are pretty even in their greatness.

What does this have to do with Brian Kelly murdering and molesting students?

Chase and Jefferson are both better. This is nonsense.

Jefferson made some very memorable plays. He was easily one of LSU's best receivers

Imagine if Julio had Tua or Bryce throwing to him. He’d probably own every receiving record at Alabama, which is saying a lot considering who all has come through.

Imagine if OBJ or heck even Josh Reed had Lord Burreaux throwing to them.


Can play this all day long.

Uhhh what?


What's wild is Julio only had over 1,000 yards in one session at Alabama and never touched 1200

I will say he's the most physically gifted WR I've ever seen in the SEC. It would have been insane what he would have done at OU if they landed him out of high school, I remember how close he was to going there and his numbers with Sam Bradford would have been insane

Chase and Jefferson are really the only ones with an argument vs Julio but Id probably give Julio the nod if I'm being honest.

But I know one thing for sure. Jefferson, Chase and Julio are all a class above Devonta and his heisman* season

Thats the thing though, it's always going to be purely objective. We'll never know if Julio could have put up numbers like Chase and Jefferson. The other variable is that Chase and Jefferson were playing with each other, does that help or hurt their cause?

Chase are good despite being owned by Bama while in college.

Chase was 1-1 against Bama in his 2 years at LSU. He won a National Championship at LSU which no Bama player did during that time frame.

But you’re right Bama owned him…..

I am shocked you, a Florida fan, would choose a LSU player as your comparison.

Is Brian or Brad in charge of this account?

LSU had 4 of the Top 7 NFL WR in reception yards this year, and would've had the ENTIRE TOP 4 if Malik Nabers didn't sit out 2 games. If you extrapolate his stats from 15 to 17 games, he would've finished 3rd and BTJ finish 4th. So that's THE ENTIRE TOP 4 TOP NFL WR'S in reception yards FROM LSU.

We'll see if Jefferson and Chase continue on

Jefferson and Chase were great college and now pro WR's, but Jones was just a physical specimen from his first snap at 'Bama. Being the first major high-profile recruit for Saban's upcoming dynasty was a pretty big deal as well.
