Defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin is the latest former Tiger to trade in his purple and gold stripes for black and orange, as Shelvin was picked by the Cincinnati Bengals 122nd overall.
Shelvin was once thought of as a potential first round pick but between questions about his weight, lack of pass rushing ability, and not putting any new film out in more than a year, he tumbled all the way to the fourth round.
To Shelvin’s credit, he did a good job keeping his weight in check. Shelvin weighed in at LSU’s pro day at 350 pounds, which was his playing weight during LSU’s 2019 national championship run. Shelvin has also talked about using his time away from LSU to work on honing his pass rushing ability.

College Statistics
Player Overview
Granson broke his leg his senior year of high school, and was very lightly recruited as a result. He received his only FBS offer from Rice, and played in 8 games there as a true freshman at wide reciever. He played in 10 games as a sophomore and transferred out of Rice’s program - without a plan for the future - after his head coach was fired. He considered trying to walk on at the University of Texas, and ended up at SMU on the recommendation of his former coach, David Bailiff, to the Mustangs head coach, Sonny Dykes. Coincidentally, Granson had been offered an academic (though not athletic) scholarship to SMU out of high school.
For Peetz Sake, Part One: Joe Brady, Levels, and Drive

It’s public knowledge that LSU went after offensive coordinator Jake Peetz and passing game coordinator DJ Mangas for a redux of the Joe Brady offense. These guys are both extremely sharp, well respected coaches who have a lot of valuable experience and know the Brady system well. In laying out groundwork for what to expect from Peetz and Mangus, it’s reasonable to go look at what LSU did in 2019, as well as what the Carolina Panthers did in 2020. Before we do that, it is important to define a few terms that are critical to understanding pass concepts, particularly those in the Joe Brady lexicon.
