Mickey Plyler's Blog: Clemson's Best Tight Ends

Clemson's Best Tight Ends

Clemson's Best Tight Ends
I started watching Clemson football in 1974 and can remember all of the great players over the last forty years. I am in the process of giving my thoughts on the greatest Tigers at every position over that 40 year span. I think it is only fair for me to comment

Did you really try to tie your "pro-actice security"

Can't argue with that list, but I'll say that Ben Hall is


Jun 13, 2013, 10:25 AM

one who almost certainly would have made the list had he been properly utilized. I can't remember how many times he'd be wide open 10-30 yards downfield, not a DB or LB within 15 yards, jumping up and down screaming and waving his arms, only to have the QB run out of bounds or throw the ball away.

Another great one was John McMakin. Played in late the 60's early 70's, then played for the Steelers for several years.

John McMakin is in top 3.......close on the 40 yr window.***

IMO, you have to flip Bennie and Dwayne Allen. My 5:


Jun 13, 2013, 10:28 AM

1. Dwayne Allen
2. Bennie Cunningham
3. John McMakin (prolly before your time, 69-71, and 72-76 with Steelers like Bennie C.
4. Michael Palmer
5. Brandon Ford

Jun 13, 2013, 12:13 PM

Didn't Dwight Clark play as Tight End? If so, he deserves a nod.

Absolutely agree with Cunningham as the number one TE which is saying something with the ultra talented Dwayne Allen just a little behind-also he comes from a terrific family as his mother was a wonderful guidance counselor at Seneca High School!

I would put Brandon Ford in the top 5. He did a fantastic


Jun 13, 2013, 5:19 PM

job filing the huge shoes of Dwayne Allen. And you have to consider how much a part of the offense he was as well.

Hoss Hostetler!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Blas from the past. I would love to know what he has done


Jun 13, 2013, 9:08 PM

since Clemson. We were in the same platoon at ROTC summer camp and he was going actve afterwords and I had one more year at Clemson. Hell of a good guy.

B-B-B-Bennie had the jets! Big as an OT, fast as a WR ...


Jun 13, 2013, 9:01 PM

At the time he was absolutely considered the best TE in the nation and deserved it.

NO doubt in my mind that he's the best Clemson has had, although Dwayne Allen is very, very close.

Still remember Big Bennie taking it to the house from about 60 yards out up in Knoxville in a game that we had absolutely stolen from us in 1974.
