Getting chosen is an honor, but actually playing is silly.***

It really is dumb to risk injury for a nothing game. When I lived in Honolulu from 84 -88, I went to one pro bowl that was in 84, and I never went to another bc it was easy to tell that the players didn't give a #### about playing much less about winning. I said then that I wished I could get a message out to the pro FB world that the pro bowl was a total waste of money and the time that it took to drive to it, and I could see the stadium from the back Lanai/porch. It really was a waste of time, and a high school game is more exciting than a Pro Bowl game!!!!

Take Nuk's word for it... he does consider himself

a Tiger... here's a quote from him with a link to the article...
“To me, it means a lot. I’m from Clemson, S.C., so to see this team do what they did … I think they are (the greatest ever)," Hopkins said. "I think they can be one of the best teams ever. Do it again next year, for sure.”

Sure, he has his feelings about the college football system, that he deserved to get the ball as much as Sammy, and Dabo telling him that he wouldn't go in the 1st round of the draft, but he is born and raised Clemson and loves it probably more than most because that's his home. People can and do compartmentalize feelings, people and situations, and that is what I see with Nuk; he loves Clemson but just has challenges with how some things played out...

100% agree. He has gotten a bad wrap from some fans over that one article where his beef was more with the system than anything. If you follow him on social media, he is always repping and positive towards Clemson.
