After an undefeated 2019 season that saw them win the national championship, LSU fell back down to Earth in 2020. However, their class entering the 2021 NFL Draft certainly isn’t short on talent.
The headlining prospect is wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, a first-round lock and a prospect seen by many as a top-10 player in the draft. Though he opted out of the 2020 season, his Biletnikoff Award-winning 2019 campaign has him firmly entrenched as one of, if not the best receiver in the class. Chase, who ran a 4.38 40-yard dash and had a 41-inch vertical at his Pro Day on Wednesday, mentioned that he has been working on his athleticism and his burst while having opted out of his junior year.
