Name Your Mt. Rushmore of Clemson Players

Let's go Players Only, and modern football only, say 1968-2018:
Mine:
1. Deshaun Watson
2. CJ Spiller
3. Terry Kinard
4. Steve Fuller
I picked those because in addition to great productivity, they were 'Program Builders' as well. Seems crazy not to have a DL or LB, though, as there were so many unbelievable talented defensive guys during the Ford years and now the Venables era. Maybe should have gone with that instead of Fuller? Could it be possible that the best players we've ever had all come from the
Others I considered:
William & Michael Dean Perry, Sammy Watkins (see post about Sammy v. Nuk numbers), Levon Kirkland, Brian Dawkins, Joe Bostic, Christian Wilkins & Hunter Renfrow (culture defining picks, here)
Let's hear yours and why you picked your 4th choice over some others.

I love all those guys, but when C.J. got the ball I thought anything was possible (except between the tackles) of course.

Just missing top 4 are Michael Dean Perry & Nuk Hopkins. Nuk sure might push his way onto the mountain in a few years!

I cannot pick any above the rest, but any list that does not include Banks McFadden is a flawed list.

I specified modern football only for the exact reason of Banks McFadden. The intent was to keep the discussion to players that the vast majority of TNet posters saw play in person or on TV.
If you read the All-Time Coot Killer Team thread earlier this week, you'll see my thoughts echo yours on how incredible McFadden was

From games I can actually remember watching. 2000 or so on.
1. Watson
2. CJ Spiller
3. Sammy Watkins
4. Christian Wilkins
But this seems like a list and lists are allowed so I don’t know.

Somehow need to find some space for Hunter Renfrow. There’s value in the clutch plays that he’s made throughout his time at Clemson, but also his every day contribution to the culture that sustains the current program. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say his work ethic and attention to detail at WR has helped make other teammates better.
