This is a great story. Clemson has had some great players over the years but Nuk is the best receiver that I have seen. He is not the tallest nor the fastest... but few have his body control and maybe the best hands in the NFL.... This story shows that he also has his head in the right place.....
... proud of the person and player you are, and the example you give to the community -- especially the young ones who are trying to figure it all out.
You'll always be one of the Tiger favorites at Clemson.
While it seems like you didn't feel appreciated at Clemson, you definitely were. Perhaps everything didn't go the way you wanted it to, but sometimes life doesn't always go 100% according to our plan.
Sometimes the adversity makes us dig down deeper and work harder -- and then lifts us higher. That might be something you'd tell one of the kids ... and it would be great advice!
My sporting career at Clemson derailed early and it never got back on track, but I still love Clemson. If I could have had a fraction of the success you had, I would have been happy with that!
I know I have no right to ask this, but I (we Tiger fans) would LOVE for you to come back Home for a game or two so we can show our love and appreciation for you again ... and maybe you'll feel in your heart like Clemson is worthy of being your stated 'home' again too.
You've been gone too long, son ... we miss you ... come on home ...
