In the past three drafts, the Tigers have sent 18 total players into the NFL, including one first-round draft pick (Odell Beckham, Jr.) and five second round selections (including Jarvis Landry, Jalen Collins, and Jeremy Hill).
It appears the Tigers are primed to add another two first-round selections this season.
HERO Sports senior NFL Draft analyst Todd Worly has three LSU prospects ranked in his top 64 players, including two top-10 prospects and the No. 1 overall player.
In Worly's eyes running back Leonard Fournette is the best player available in the 2017 NFL Draft, with safety Jamal Adams ranked No. 7 overall. He also has cornerback Tre'Davious White as the No. 53 overall prospect.
Here's a look at the top NFL Draft prospects from LSU and what Worly has to say about each:
No. 1: Leonard Fournette, RB
Fournette is a once-a-decade talent, and is the best player in this draft class regardless of position. He has the combination of size, explosiveness, top end speed, elusiveness and power to be the next Adrian Peterson or Bo Jackson.

No. 7: Jamal Adams, S
A physical, intimidating presence against the run that also makes opposing receivers think twice — and three, four and five times — about going over the middle, Adams has elite explosiveness and range to make plays all over the field. The former Tiger has a similar skillset to Peppers, but Peppers gets the slight nod due to his versatility.
No. 53: Tre'Davious White, CB
White was a key component for one of the best defenses in the country in 2016. His combination of feet, explosiveness and ball skills stands out the most.
