That have either graduated or moved on to the NFL
Mine would be: in no particular order
Duane Coleman (just a bada$$)
Deandre McDaniels (bada$$)
Brandon Streeter (tough as nails)
Whitehurst (coot killer)
Reggie Merriweather (Tommy Bowden???)
Catman (clutch)
Jad Dean (nah just his team pic)
Sammy (nuff said)
Hopkins (hands of steel)
C.J. (obvious)
Shuey (Braxton Miller)
Grady Jarrett (beast)
Added: Dantzler/A.Ellington/Dwayne Allen
Here is a sweet vid of Duane Coleman coldc@cking a coot

Loved Gaines, just a short LIST off the top of my head.
Mainly just by attitude and playing style

I'd definitely add Ellington, D. Allen and Woody Dantzler
So many to choose from, Ellington was a class act and the best pure RB we've had since Terry Allen

Dwayne Allen: what a beast. And has done nothing but make Clemson look even better since leaving.
Tajh: The LSU game alone puts him on this list. Pure will power to make it through that game.
CJ: Changed the Clemson culture. A career full of highlight real material, the juke vs GT was the best, IMO.
McDaniel: the hit on Ponder was awesome. Bring on the Boom!
Sammy: Game changer. The run and catch vs UGA was awesome. The stop n go vs FSU. The KO return vs MD.
Davis: watching him drag the FSU players holding on to his jersey was awesome.
Stephone: Clemson is coming. Clemson is here and thanks for your help Mr. Anthony.
Deshawn Williams: He didnt get the recognition but he was a beast and the batted ball vs Lville was awesome.
Nuk: best hands at Clemson and best hands in the NFL.
AE: slightly shadowed by JD and CJ, AE was just as good.. the run vs Aub was awesome.
Vic Beastly: Wow.. that's all.
Kalon Davis: I loved those eyes...
Dalton Freeman: good center, and better dude..
Mike Bellamy: wait, wut!?

duely noted and was an ignorant thing for me to do. Rod Gardner too. the truth is that there are so many that have come and gone through our university and i love all of them. i couldnt possibly name them all. even guys like khaleed vaughn or roscoe crosby or jj mckelvey or aaron hunt could be on there. its hard to narrow it down to one list.

Hes on a list by himself. IMO, you can put him on the all time Tiger defense, hands down. CJ and Nuk and AE would be there too but defense is my favorite and GJ would make my all time list going back to late 70's when I was a kid. We will miss the hell out of #50.

Aaron Kelly - Was in a class with his girlfriend (SUPER HOT) and I saw him at a party once, was completely toasted, said something along the lines of "Are you Aaron Kelly? DUDE YOU ARE AWESOME" to which his response was "Thanks!" Very nice guy.
Tajh Boyd - Nicest guy you will ever meet. Played pool with him a few times in TD's and a friend of mine was close family friends of his. Always wearing a smile and had the best manners. Great representative for my alma mater.

No one ever gives punters and kickers any cred

Catenzaro probably scored more points than Sammy.
Zimmeran punted our ### outta many a bad field position.

the other folks but the other folks can score 6 at a time without kickers. Now punters...a bad punter can keep you D in a bad place all day long. Neither of these guys was Chris Gardocki.

I believe Spencer Shuey was one of our best players and he gave his all on the field. Wish he would have been more successful in the NFL.
