Humphries excelling as Tigers' Mr. Versatile

Adam Humphries caught a pass on offense, returned punts and then played as a cornerback late in the Tigers’ 42-13 victory, reprising the role he played at Dorman. Full Story »

You can never have enough of these team-first type

of guys on the team.

Reminds me of what one coach said in the NFL years ago


Oct 31, 2012, 4:36 PM

"I'd rather have Super Bowl players over Pro Bowl players". I want to say Bill Walsh said that, but I'm probably wrong. Either way, it's a great quote that sums up players like Adam.

He goes out there at practice every day and competes hard.

He's a real blue-collar type player

This guy is one of the toughest receivers on the team. He can take a hit.

This guy does whatever he can to help the team excel.

He just goes out there and does his job.

He doesn't complain, he just does what the coaches ask him to do.

;) Did I miss any?

He gives it his all***

Honest questions.

Who was the last white Clemson player to play a snap for the Tigers at cornerback? How many decades ago...?

Jason Sehorn was last one to play in the NFL back in 2002.

This stuff does not get talked about due to the sensitivity involved, but Adam playing against Wake Forest was a milestone. It's probably been at least 20+ years.

had the opportunity to watch Adam a few times when Dorman played Byrnes and Mauldin. Even though Peake was the center piece Adam was by far the best all around player on that team. Great guy with a big heart and loves football can't get any better than that. Just makes me sick he was only offered by Wofford, Furman, and Clemson. I can name a few D1 colleges he could start WR right now!!

I for one am very glad


Oct 31, 2012, 3:52 PM

we were his sole D-1 offer

That made him a lock for us!

Isaac Asimov


Why not have Adam H switch to DB permanently?


Oct 31, 2012, 4:22 PM

We certainly have enough weapons on offense....

I think this is actually part of the problem w/ offensive minded head coaches......most of the talent goes to that side of the ball.....Let's have some of that talent switch to the "D"...

thoughts??
