My personal favorite clemson football players from my era of being a tiger fan. 1. CJ Spiller 2. Sammy Watkins 3. Deshaun Watson 4. Tajh Boyd 5. Gaines Adams
Like i said this is from my era of watching my tigers play. I'm not saying anyone is better than anyone else. I'm just saying personally these tigers have meant the most to me as my 20 years as a fan. What's yours?

I'm fond of James Davis, I believe he came back for his senior year and it may have cost him. I'm not knowledgeable in this, but that's my memory.
Thunder and lightning, hard to beat the excitement they brought!

I was not around for fuller so I cannot comment. But CJ kept us relevant for a few years while nothing was really going on

Hey. I'm not a new comer nor a common user. I love my tigers and love opinions. Tell og b-meist to bring it on because I love to hear what my other tiger lovers think of the program.

Favorite? OK. That's purely subjective.
Most important or best? Impossible not to go with Deshaun.

Well yeah. I'm saying that I've been a tiger fan my whole life. Deshaun is the best of all time no question. I want to know what tigers meant the most to you during your fandom.

...I salute those like Yusef who stood up and curb stomped those coots and finished the job when they started all their coot crapping.
You start crap, we ain't gonna sit there and take it.

Favorites:
Steve Fuller, because he was the first Tiger I remember. I was Steve Fuller in the back yard. Homer Jordan, because he led us to glory. Terrance Flagler, because when I moved to FL in '79, kids were like, "Who's Clemson?" TF signed in '82, which carried more clout with the locals than actually winning in '81. He was a local idol. CJ Spiller, because he opened the floodgates. Deshaun Watson, because he's special in so many ways.
If I thought about it more I might change, but over the decades these stand out above the rest. Moved to

Again, not best but memorable for different reasons. 1. James Davis because my son has the same name. As a little tyke at the game, he'd here touchdown James Davis #1. My son would shout, that's me! 2. Emory Smith for stumbling, bumbling, rumbling all the way to the end zone for a touchdown with half the coot team on his back. 3. Charlie Whitehurst. Took him about 10 minutes but he ran for that long first down to kill the coots. 4. Michael dean Perry - loved to watch him play d. 5. Raymond priester - the human bowling ball. Not the fastest but one of the best ever at yards after contact.

...as ALL Clemson Tigers are on equal footing on my list and have contributed towards what makes Clemson University, a supreme institution of higher learning, a place we can all be proud of.
Congrats to all the people of Clemson University who represent us well from all walks of life to include those who did not attend or graduate from THE University but make contributions anyway.

1. Woody (way before his time / a trend setter) 2. Fridge (ridiculously freakish strength and speed for his size - also way ahead of his time) 3. Sammy (best player to ever don the uniform in my opinion - yes, I'm including #4) 4. Deshaun (best quarterback to ever play at Clemson) 5. Renfrow (all heart and will forever be etched in Clemson lore; I'll never forget this kid)
