Lane Kiffin considers adding NFL castoffs to LSU roster
Summary

Lane Kiffin is evaluating the addition of former Mississippi players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who were recently cut from NFL teams, to the LSU roster. The move has raised concerns among SEC officials, as it might provoke a significant backlash. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry criticized the situation and labeled it as 'ridiculous.' Kiffin justifies this approach with the reasoning that players cut from the NFL could still contribute positively to LSU. The legal issues surrounding the SEC's handling of player eligibility may further complicate matters as the season approaches.
