But Nuk has a good chance to be that guy. He has been lighting the world on fire at WR with a subpar QB.

one of the best professional achievements, and we've had quite a few guys win PGA Tournaments. The Fridge is probably the most recognizable.

Far as the best career, I would have to say Jeff Bostic.
Jan 22, 2016, 3:25 PM

Played on 3 Super Bowl winners, in the Washington Redskins Ring of Fame, and named amongst the 70 greatest Redskins of all time. Played 13 years in the NFL.
As far as longevity, B. Dawk played 16 years in the league, dont think any other Tiger has played that long.

seemed like Chris Gardocki played forever and had a pretty good pro career.
I mean he's no Brian Dawkins but still not bad. Won a super bowl and never had a punt blocked in the NFL.

I was a Orange and purple egg in my mom when the earliest most Clemson Tiger was about to be and in a split nano as a white streaking missile I came down the hill into my orange and purple to become the earliest complete Clemson Tiger on November 21, 1967. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
As a player, the most exciting player ever to wear the Orange and White and carry the torch is C.J. Spiller on offense and Brian Dawkins on defense.
Go Tigers!
We have had so many but DeShaun Watson and Ben Boulware are making a case in the present.

Bennie Cunningham, Steeler tight end who played on the Steel Curtain / Terry Bradshaw era Super Bowl teams. I don't know if he's in the NFL Hall of Fame, but he was a great one at Clemson and in the pros.

Brian was pretty good too!
Don't forget Terry Kinard and the QB before Jordan, Steve Fuller who has a Super Bowl ring and playoff win (as a starter).
