The Next 5 Football ROH Members
Apr 21, 2020, 4:28 PM
|

This era is going to produce many members to the Clemson ROH. Counting any former football player this era or before, who do you think the next 5 players should be to go into the Clemson ROH? This is not in deserving order. I'm just listing 5 that should definitely go in. I'm not listing current roster members. #1 & #2 are already eligible. I listed 3-5 in order by graduation.
1. CJ Spiller
2. Brian Dawkins
3. Tajh Boyd
4. Deshaun Watson
5. Christian Wilkins
I also think Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, and Ben Boulware will be inducted. The ROH will have to go all around the stadium by 2035 if you start talking about current players!!!

ROH, then the ROH needs to expand exponentially. Lots of dudes from the 70's and 80's, including Jeff Bryant, Terry Kinard, William Perry, etc. were studs at Clemson and the had good pro careers. That list is long. The ROH, not so long obviously. I think we have the hall of fame for most purposes, and then the ROH for the very, very select "super" legends among the many, many legends. So back to the original 5, not all will be on ROH. Watson I would imagine for sure. The others, who knows, but probably not.

I'm surprised Brian Dawkins isn't already in the ROH...

He was inducted into the NFL HOF before the Clemson ROH.

He was a better player in the NFL than he was at Clemson.

He was good at Clemson, but I don't think anybody envisioned the kind of NFL career he had. When Dawkins left Clemson for the NFL, nobody thought of him as a ROH type player.

If there are qualifications that include being a consensus All-American, 1st team All American or ACC Player of the Year, the list will be smaller and much different. Where is the list of qualifications and in light of all the superstar players of the last few, current and previous years, do the qualifications need to be updated?
