Former Tigers like Devin White and Greedy Williams, who are considered by most analysts as first round selections in this year’s draft, were among the names working out for scouts, coaches and general managers in attendance. And as the LSU staff sent off another group of Tigers into the NFL, the coaches were also building for the future by hosting a handful of their top targets on the recruiting trail for the 2020 class. And it wasn’t just any group. Among the six unofficial visitors on campus visiting with the staff were five Top 100 prospects, the nation’s No. 1 offensive tackle, four of the top defensive line prospects in the country and the No. 2 middle linebacker in the 2020 class. Five-star offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr., Top247 defensive lineman Darrion Henry and four-star outside linebacker Jaheim Thomas arrived at LSU on Friday and plan to remain in town Saturday, when the Tigers will go through the team’s second scrimmage in Tiger Stadium this offseason. The trio, who made the trip together, rank as the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 prospects respectively in the state of Ohio per the 247Sports Composite Johnson is the highest-ranked prospect among the group, checking in at No. 4 overall on the 247Sports Composite. Henry, a top 50 prospect, is ranked as the nation’s No. 3 strong side defensive end. Thomas, who holds more than 30 college offers, is ranked as a Top 25 outside linebacker prospect. They weren’t the only prospects from outside the state to make the trip to Baton Rouge on Friday. Michigan four-star Braiden McGregor made an unofficial visit to campus. The 6-foot-6, 248-pound defensive end is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 30 overall prospect in the 2020 class, putting him within striking range for a fifth-star once the rankings expand. Virginia’s Antoine Sampah was also on campus to visit with the staff and take in a day in the life of LSU football. Sampah is defensive coordinator Dave Aranda’s top targets, and he’s ranked as a five-star and Top 30 prospect on the 247Sports Composite. Alabama, Clemson, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio State, Miami and others have offered. The final Top 100 prospect on an unofficial visit at LSU on Saturday was Tennessee four-star defensive end Jay Hardy, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 4 strong side defensive end. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee and plenty of others have offered the No. 2 player in the state of Tennessee. Stay tuned to Geaux247 for more on LSU’s visitors.

The LSU tight end said he didn't expect he would run a 4.66-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine (fifth among all tight ends), or that he would record a 36½-inch vertical jump (tied for third). With those kinds of results, the New Orleans native who wore the coveted No. 18 for the Tigers last season didn't have to do anything more than run through position drills at LSU's pro day Friday morning. Is Greedy Williams the best corner in the NFL draft? The LSU DB's answer and more from pro day Greedy Williams played off as if he was shocked at the question: Was the LSU defender the best cornerback available in the NFL draft? Among the 12 LSU players who worked out, Moreau ran routes and caught passes from 2007 BCS national championship quarterback Matt Flynn, whom Moreau convinced to come out and throw for the event. Coaches and scouts from all 32 NFL teams watched inside the LSU indoor practice facility. Moreau said he knew his pre-draft workouts have been "exponentially beneficial," since they've showcased talents that didn't quite emerge while he recorded 22 catches, 272 yards and two touchdowns in 2018. Paired with being named one of a few outstanding players at the Senior Bowl, Moreau has done enough to gain new respect from the NFL teams and scouts that he spoke with Friday. "They didn't expect me to do that," Moreau said. "That was not expected because I haven't shown that on my game tape, which is apparent. But it's fun to get out there, raise questions. Not prove people wrong, but just kind of take people aback, be a pleasant surprise." LSU 2019 Pro Day results: Here's how the Tigers' top draft prospects fared LSU Pro Day is underway and all 32 NFL teams have reprensetives on site to see the Tigers' top football prospects before April's draft. Coaches and scouts even shared their surprise with LSU coach Ed Orgeron. LSU sports news in your inbox If you're a Tiger fan you won't want to miss this newsletter.

Obviously, we should have used him more in the passing game." Moreau said it "was no one's fault" that he wasn't used more as a pass-catcher at LSU. In 2018, season-long injuries to Jamal Pettigrew (ACL) and Thaddeus Moss (foot) limited the offense from using double tight end formations, and a struggling pass protection forced Moreau to be used more as a blocker. "Just winning games was our prerogative here, and that's what we were able to do," Moreau said. "And we did it a lot. So, I wouldn't change my time, my position, my role here for anything from anyone. Stats are stats, but at the end of the day, wins are wins, and I'll take a win over 200 yards and three touchdowns any day." All 32 NFL teams in attendance for LSU pro day to watch Tigers' top draft prospects work out It will be a packed house Friday at LSU's Football Operations Center with all 32 NFL teams sending representatives for the school's 2019 Pro Day. In the weeks leading up to the NFL draft — where some projections have Moreau selected as early as the fourth round — Moreau will continue to meet and interview with NFL teams. In fact, Moreau asked reporters what time it was, because he had a scheduled meeting with a team immediately after his interview. Just which team was it? "I don't kiss and tell," Moreau said.<doc-sep>
The New Orleans Saints showed up big for the LSU Tigers pro day in Baton Rouge, sending every available coach and front office executive up to survey some talented draft prospects. General manager Mickey Loomis and assistant GM/college scouting director Jeff Ireland led the group, while head coach Sean Payton was absent — likely preparing for upcoming NFL owner’s meetings in Phoenix, scheduled for March 24 to March 27. Payton is a member of the NFL competition committee, which will be actively involved in the offseason meetings. Measurables from LSU Pro Day pic.twitter.com/0rMDxXEQBT — Larry Holder (@LarryHolder) March 22, 2019 Saints defensive backs coaches Aaron Glenn and Peter Giunta were spotted coordinating drills for the Tigers’ safeties and cornerbacks, including top prospect Greedy Williams. Standout defensive lineman Rashard Lawrence was seen chatting with Saints defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Nielsen also took time to catch up with head coach Ed Orgeron; Nielsen worked on Orgeron’s staff early in his career. Additionally, Larry Holder of the Athletic reported that the Saints were “paying close attention” to tight end Foster Moreau, an ascendant prospect after he crushed workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine. Moreau is a skilled blocker who wasn’t tasked with running many routes at LSU, and could make sense for the Saints in the later rounds of the draft. The Saints send a big group to LSU’s pro day every year, but rarely draft players from the big program just up the road. It’s become fodder for jokes among fans to write off the excursion, but last year’s seventh round selection of offfensive lineman Will Clapp could mean a change is in the works.
