re: The Honey Badger announces his retirement from pro football

So damn good. I went with my gf at the time to watch st aug vs west Monroe in Nola years ago in the playoffs. He single-handedly kept st aug in that game. He was the best player on the field by far. I’m going to look for stats. I think he scored multiple times. Interceptions and played on O.I can’t stand LSU but told my boss and he said meh. 3 star from Nola. Maybe he will contribute. Honey Badger is a Legend. I’m glad I got to watch his whole career.

If the SEC ever makes another all-time team, Honey Badger would probably be first team safety. Great NFL career also.

But it was at this exact moment last season when Honey Badger realized that it's a young man's game and his time had passed.

He’s been washed up for years.

Who cares

Honey Badger had 4 times more catches in the NFL than Norwood... As a defender...

it's a good story he nearly threw away his entire career glad he figured things out and carved out a rewarding career while supporting the community he came from

Came here to write exactly this. Dude was such a baller, always loved watching him play. What a dream that must have been to wind up a Saint. Don’t know much about his upbringing or early life but at his size I assume he was told he would not amount to shite on the field his whole life, and he just proved everyone wrong at every level. #respect

He’ll probably get a movie made about him one day. Amazing redemption story. I still think if is on the team in 2012 we find a way to redeem ourselves against Bama and shitkick Notre Dame. Is what it is. Kid fricked up, paid the price, and made himself better.

One of the best, absolutely most exciting college football players of all time. If anyone says different, they don't know what elite playmakers look like.

All time great player. A true game changer on a loaded LSU D. That season opener vs. Oregon was an absolute dominant performance. I legit thought he would win the Heisman that year.

Hard to believe it's been 12 years! Time flies when you get old, and I am definitely old.

Special player and while at LSU could put the team on his back and win a game almost single handed. He definitely could turn the momentum of a game.

Favorite LSU player of all time. Undersized, and honestly he never appeared all that athletic to me(he obviously was pretty athletic relatively speaking), but had possibly the best football instincts I've ever seen. Just an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time. So many moments where he heavily impacted a game in his team's favor.
