D-Rod, and you can stop there...Enough said. That #### is tougher than anyone on the team and has experienced more than any of us can imagine! Thread / !

Do you have info on Priester's toughness? I haven't heard much about him.
Chad Kelly's toughness is about to be tested.
My top 5:
D Rod
Shatley
Boyd
Norton
Hot Rod
I love that I can honestly include O linemen in this list!

One thing that impressed me about Priester's highlights is that he seems to have no fear going over the middle. He looks like a tough WR, but haven't heard anything.

I hope this is true. If so he may be able to come in and fill a Jaron Brown type role.

There's not a DC on this team...

oh, how I wish that wasn't the case.
Coleman vs. Swearinger would have been a showdown like none other...

Agreed. Boyd might now be one of the toughest players in Clemson history. Don't forget that he's also been our short yardage back. He slams himself into the middle of the line 4 or 5 times a game.

Some guys you just know.......

You can tell a lot about a guy by their demeanor. For example, who would you take in a bar fight, Boulware or Spencer Shuey? Nothing against Spencer, but some guys have that edge. Kellen Jones is that guy as well. Some guys are tough enough to walk away, some guys are tough enough to understand that a 15-yarder is worth keeping the team's respect.

Are you saying we don't have 5 tough players on offense?

I know Duane Coleman would have popped Swearinger in the chin had he been on the field when he celebrated over Andre like he did.
No one stepped up last year - even Nuk, who was considered our toughest player and who was about 4 yards from where the celebration happened.
So I don't have a list for the offense. Because they let something happen that would have cleared the benches before 2009.
On defense, I would go
1) Josh Watson
2) Grady Jarrett
3) Travis Blanks
4) Spencer Shuey
5) Bashaud Breeland.
