Oh my, the white jersey with the purple britches. Bowden allowed way too many combinations.

Wow! Wonder if there will ever be another one like CJ? Not in my LT.

All of the backs he coaches should have to ...

... watch CJ's highlight reel BEFORE they are ever coached in their first session by him.
The magnitude of what he did on the field provides tremendous credibility to EVERY word he says and each tip or instruction he gives because he's "been there, done that" at a level that has not been seen as consistently since.
The young guns would be wise to listen intently to CJ, heed his input, and incorporate his coaching into their game as soon as possible - because it WILL pay dividends on the field and in their lives.
GO TIGERS!!

The most amazing stat of CJ's Clemson career was, of his 52 all purpose TD's, 21 of his TD's was for 50 yards or more. IMO CJ was a disrespected True Heisman player that didn't come close by the voters of rewarding the right player the Heisman!!!!
CJ Spiller was the type of player that the Heisman was intended for, a player that done the most to help his team to win FB games, and that is what a Heisman player does. #28 CJ Spiller was the FB definition of what a real Heisman trophy player does!!!!

I like too, to always remind us all that James Davis brought CJ back to us. Davis did things for Clemson that no award will ever capture.

Without Davis there is no Spiller, and without both of them there is no Tajh Boyd, no Watson, no championships. Spiller might have been the one who rocketed Clemson into national prominence, but Davis was the foundation. He is the key to it all. (Well, Davis and Dabo.)

Most dangerous player in Clemson history, IMO

Watching Spiller was absolute poetry. That's the only way to put it. He's the college football equivalent of Michael Jordan IMO--poetry in motion, and a pure joy to watch. I've never seen a back who was a legitimate threat to score every time he touched the ball. Every time they put it in his hands the entire stadium held their breath because they knew something incredible could happen. He was so incredibly smooth, and that acceleration was a thing of beauty.
Absolute poetry.

Could You Imagine CJ If he was on one of the last 5 teams?

Had he been in DW or TL's backfield ETN may have seen limited time

#28 C.J. Spiller

That highlight reel is special!
I remember getting to watch him live as a teen...watching CJ play was like playing the NCAA football video game in real time.
Idk too many players that have a highlight reel that would compete with CJ28. Wish he could've been on some of the better Clemson teams but his accomplishments on the field aren't lost either.
Jacoby Ford may have been faster but dadgum the truth is that once CJ got behind defenders there was 0 chance of catching him. Haven't seen speed like that since...maybe Sammy Watkins?
Don't get me wrong, we've had fast dudes but I have seen the same kind of home run speed like Spiller's since.

He was so fun to watch and I never wanted to miss any part of the game

because he was a threat to take it to the end zone each and every time that he touched the ball.

He is still my favorite! Cant imagine what kind of numbers he would’ve produced with the teams of the last 6-8 years
