There was a time when athletes like Donte Jackson didn't come to LSU. In the not so distant past, even. Sure, LSU had players like Skyler Green, but in the Miles era, LSU mostly struggled to find roles for smaller, speedier types. Plenty of room for the big bodied beasts on the outside, but if you were a shorter player with good speed or quicks, you'd probably be better suited seeking another school.
Then came Odell Beckham Jr., who himself isn't overtly "small" so much as he is just not large. At 6 foot even, Beckham never towered over defenders, but instead used his incredible athleticism and dedication to route running to overwhelm.
