All Time Clemson Defense- who you got?

Another post got me to thinking. Who are the all time great? Who are my all-time starters? Unfortunately I’m not that old, so my list will be lack old timers like Jeff Davis.
Let’s assume it’s 4-3:
DE: Gaines Adams
DT: William Perry
DT: Christian Wilkins
DE: Vic Beasley
LB: Levon Kirkland
LB: Anthony Simmons
LB: Leroy Hill
CB: Tye Hill
FS: Brian Dawkins
SS: Chris Clemons
CB: Donnell Wofford

What do you do with Jeff Davis, on the ring of fame?

That’s the problem. I never saw JD play.

I’m sure he was great, but I’m not gonna put him on my all-time Defense. Mainly because I didn’t see him play.

You'd have to put Michael Dean Perry as one of your starting DTs. He was a 6x Pro-Bowler in the NFL. Also, more tackles/TFLs/sacks than both William Perry and Christian Wilkins.

Deandre McDaniel and Terry Kinard would easily rank above Chris Clemons.

I think you have a good starting point but wouldn’t make a few swaps. I’m probdbly swapping perry for perry and also taking a hard look at both DE spots, those are maybe the most difficult since we have had so many.
Both hills and Clemons are not going to make the back 7. Can think of multiple replacements for all 3, I’d lean Davis, alexander, kinard. The alexander pick is likely the most controversial but he may be the best Island cb to come through, don’t care for some other elements but pure player skill he has to be considered and that ability to take away one side of the field on an island changes an entire defense as we saw in 2014 wit. The #1 defense in nation. He was seldom thrown at.

Justin Miller was a better CB at Clemson than Tye Hill

Hill had a better NFL career

----------------------------------------------
Can't for get LB, Keith Adams.
And for me, that secondary won't work with Clemons and Tye Hill- IMO
they were very suspect at Clemson. I would go with either Justin Miller
or Dexter Davis. What about Robert Oneal at safety.
