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.

So many great OL but hard for one or two to stand out

Very good player at Clemson. No way he makes that

list, imo. He was probably our greatest NFL player but I'm talking college career only.

I would give the nod to Michael Dean Perry rather than William.

Hard to limit it to 10, but don't leave out MD Perry & Brian

Dawkins. Levon Kirkland pretty good too.

Ah... Bennie


Oct 8, 2015, 7:59 PM

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.

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!

Charlie, top ten all time? I'd have him as my 5th best QB

behind Fuller, Woody, Tajh, and Homer Jordan.

Woody,Tajh or Homer, but Charlie was a better QB

Better pro-style QB, not a better college QB.


Oct 9, 2015, 12:54 PM

He was very good in college though.

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

Not sure of the 10 best, but Bowers is not on the list.

Maybe, but he did win the Bronco Naguski trophy which

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

I would make Terry Allen at least equal with Nuk Hopkins.

Dale Hatcher, perhaps the best punter ever in football aside from Ray Guy. He was a weapon.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

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.

Terry Allen***

Charlie Waters, Bennie Cunningham, Jim Stuckey, Joe Bostic


Oct 8, 2015, 8:27 PM

Jeff Bryant, Jeff Davis. Not saying all these guys are Top 10, but they merit consideration.
