1. CJ Spiller 2. Terry Kinard 3. Sammy Watkins 4. Anthony Simmons 5. Steve Fuller 5. Chester McGlockton 6. Jeff Davis 7. William Perry 8. Da'Quan Bowers 9. Nuk Hopkins 10. Jerry Butler

Watched one Clemson practice from the parking lot of DKS. They were doing one on one pass rushing drills. Watched our best DE ever (you know which one I'm referring to) pass rush. Unreal. I felt so bad for the scout team TE. He was by him before the kid could get out of his stance. The one time the kid popped up fast enough to lay a block, one club move later, he was laying beside the center.

DB is who I'm referring to. Might want to make it obvious.

How could we forget Bennie Cunningham? He was probably the best TE we ever had here. And he was great with the Steelers as well.
Michael Dean belongs as well, over Da'Quan Bowers. Michael Dean was better, and the teams he played on were far better.

Some honorable mentions that haven't been mentioned
Oct 8, 2015, 3:39 PM

Justin Miller Chandler Catanzaro Keith Adams Rod Gardner
Ones that were mentioned that deserve consideration of Top 10: Levon Kirkland Charlie Whitehurst (would be a definite if not for junior year)
May want to go ahead and add Deshaun Watson!

Agreed. Michael Dean was a better DL for longer than Bowers. Gotta replace Bowers with Michael Dean Perry.

Any legit list like this has to include Gaines Adams, to have any credibility.

Decent list...
Oct 8, 2015, 7:46 PM

I'll have to think about this awhile. One change I would make immediately would be to replace Da'Quan Bowers with Michael Dean Perry. I would also make it a toss-up between Nuk Hopkins and Terry Allen. I just can't see leaving either off the list, but the other names you have there are very good as well. Hard to make an argument against any of them in my mind except for Bowers.
