All-Time Clemson team

If you are picking the all-time Clemson All Star Team, who would you choose as the defensive tackles.
After not too careful consideration, I'm picking The Fridge but the next selection is tough. You have Grady, Christian, Chester, Dexter, Brinston, Jim Stuckey, ... (note DJ Reader is doing pretty well in the NFL)
Who would you pick as the greatest all-time?
While we are on the subject, how about defensive ends?

Whether or not to include NFL success changes the picks

Peak Vic and peak Da'Quan were nigh unstoppable when they wore orange, despite the mixed bag of NFL play. For tackles I lean towards Christian because of his incredible versatility on both sides of the ball and that insane athleticism. Hard to not say the Fridge, too.

Grady Jarrett.
I loved The Fridge, but I really think his brudder Micheal Dean was the better overall football player.

on one side, and Vic Beasley on the other side.
If you were to pick just one group, Hands Down it would be the Power Rangers. Bryant, Lawrence, Wilkins, Ferrell. I don't know of many combos at ANY school that could top that group all at once.

Jeff Bryant was a first-team All America DT on the '81 team. And Fridge was a nose guard, FWIW.
