Any list without Christian Wilkins is bogus.

Baker Mayfield at 2? Cmon now... I'd say its Tebow, Vince Y, Cam, Deshaun, Burro

then Baker. WE beat Baker like a drum with a much less experienced team than they had. Cole Stoudt was better that day than Baker. Cole Stoudt was never better on any day than the other guys i mentioned. I like Suh but he's top 10 at best not #1. Of all of college football in the 21st century? He was awesome but not the greatest ever. I think its funny that Clowney didn't even get a mention. Clowney was better that Pollack though..
Somebody missed a deadline or something and just threw this list together in about 10 minutes is my guess.

Travis Etienne deserves more recognition. A totally forgotten player with some amazing stats.

Watson had more success than any of the other quarterbacks on the list.

Clowney was clown not top 25. His only claim to fame was tackle in bowl game that would have gotten him tossed next year. Fact he left early and last season was too chicken to actually to make tackles. Scared if got hurt wouldnt get drafted #1 next season.

After decades there's some things that leave me scratching my head. Ndamukong Suh was the 2nd pick, first round of the draft. This was right at the exact time the NFL loudly claimed that they didn't want dirty players anymore, Suh's exact brand of play.

Jadaveon Clowney was as good a college player as any of the other linemen on this top 25, but maybe missing some stats and recognition because he played for the yardbirds. I give him credit for singlehandedly making Tajh 0-4 against USuC. Hate to give them any kind of props, but he's easily the best, most impactful player they've had this century. And we've had five guys just as impactful.

Rightfully deserved ...Don't care about his personal life. DW4 is the greatest player to ever put on the Clemson uniform.

Agreed. With just a few more seconds left, DW4 would have gotten Clemson another win over Bama in that first playoff game against them. He was always determined--never gave up or lost confidence.

DW aint no #16. Trevor Lawrence should be top 8. Better than DW Burrows and several other QBs. I got him 4th.

Trevor was great but he wasn't better than DW4. Watson would not have

allowed that beat down against LSU in the championship. WE might have lost but it wouldn't have been a beat down.

Correct, except I have always said, we win that game with DW4. Dude was just a winner. TL was all that you could build a QB and want, but Watson refused to lose.

Allowed a beat down? This is just crazy talk, man. Close game until late in the 2nd half and DW4 alone wasn't going to stop LSU. They had our number that night.
I'd give a slight edge to DW over Lawrence because we got to see him in crunch time but saying a QB allowed a beat down? Yeah that's DUMB.

Trevor should be #1 until another true freshman wins it year 1, and goes to playoffs 3 years.
Baker and Burrow both good players, but burrow only had the one special year and baker never won a playoff game.
Deshaun and Trevor should both be top 5 with christian wilkins and possibly travis and tee higgins on the list.

Take away Jackson running up his stats against Charlotte and Watson beats him out for the Heisman.

Maaaan y'all done forgot about him? Probably the greatest all purpose back in Clemson history with a highlight reel that puts almost everybody on that list to shame?
Come on, Tigernet! To be fair, they really need to break this up into decades because there's been a lot of great players coming through.
