LSU looked like it had an NFL-caliber offense while dominating college football in 2019 all the way to a national title. Now, that's turned out to be more true than even the most diehard fans could have realized.

Every draft-eligible player from the Tigers' 2019 offense is now on a NFL roster.

This dazzling fact solidly summarizes just how good this team was in 2019, and how deep they were beyond simply Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

This insane offense AVERAGED over 550 yards and 48 points per game. Burrow threw for 60 touchdowns -- yes, you are reading that right -- and won the Heisman Trophy. There was more than enough success to go around, and it's only the beginning.

It's not like the Bayou Bengals simply ran up the score against weak opponents, either. They play in the hardest conference in the country, the SEC, and they defeated seven top-10 teams. In the College Football Playoff, they played they scored over 100 points combined in their two games, proving beyond all doubt who the best, most explosive team in the nation really was.

Now, NFL fans will get to see all of that fire power across the NFL. This fall, the league will need to brace itself for LSU taking pro football by storm.
