Is J. McFadden the best OL we've had in the last 20-25yrs?


Sep 8, 2022, 8:54 PM

I think he might be. Unfortunately, we just haven't had very many top guys on the OL over the years. Brandon Thomas was probably the best guy prior (3rd rd pick in 2014), but JMac is elite. He would be a top 5 pick if he was 2 or 3 inches taller. However, because of his height, he'll likely be moved inside on the next level which will hurt his draft standing.

Mitch Hyatt is arguably the best O-lineman in Clemson history.

Not talking about NFL career, but college career.

Four year starter, tremendous pass protector for D.Watson and T.Lawrence. Didn't need TE help. Very rare false starts, lineman downfield, or holds.

Played a gazillion snaps (we didn't have the depth at LT [Taylor Hearn was a reach as backup LT].

When Jackson Carman came along, Carman could provide depth but was no where near the LT in 2018 that Hyatt was.

For the cherry on top, M.Hyatt's arrival coincided with advent of Clemson in the CFP in 2015; Hyatt's play at such a critical position over a 4 year span had arguably made him our most important player ever on offense over the entire course of a 4 year college career.. (D.Watson came to Clemson in 2014.)

Heard of John Simpson? You can watch him on Sundays now playing in Sin City.

We stole him from Virginia Tech too, he was committed there first. Thank goodness we went after him.

I know you said, "college". But, to boot, Simpson has carved out a nice NFL career.

He's absolutely up there! Good post. Like you state, J-Mac is definitely NFL quality as an OG - lacks the length for OT. If I was McFadden, I would be practicing my ability to snap just to keep all his NFL options open. Having that guard/center versatility has worked out well for Tyler Shatley in his long NFL career.
