LSU All-Time All-Pro Team
Based on my database of Tigers in pro football, here's my All-Time All-Pro team composed entirely of LSU players. The basic criterion is longevity. If a guy played double-digit years in pro ball, he must be a solid player. Of course, exceptions can be made for a Hall of Famer like Steve Van Buren.

Here's the list. The number of years each played is in parentheses followed by the last season he played at LSU. The red names denote players who are still active as of 2018. Blue names designate players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
