In 3 seasons (2012-2014) P/K Bradley Pinion punted for over 5,700 yards (that is over three miles) in 140 punts! According to excerpts from Pinion’s bio on ClemsonTigers.com:

After Clemson:

The San Francisco 49ers selected Bradley Pinion with the 165th Pick (5th Round) of the 2015 NFL Draft. He has played in the NFL ever since. In his nine NFL season so far, Pinion has played for the San Francisco’s 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Atlanta Falcons (his current team). According to Pro-FootballReference.com, he has registered the following NFL stats:

- 686 Kick offs for 44,305 Yards (64.6 Average)
- 639 Punts for 28,295 Yards (44,3 Average)

Of note: The 28,295 punt yardage and the 44,305 kickoff yardage represents 41.25 miles collectively.

According to TigerNet (from May 2022), Pinion also gives back to the community:

“One of Clemson’s best showed up at Clemson Elementary Saturday afternoon, giving back to a community that he feels like sometimes gets overlooked.

Bradley Pinion, the Super Bowl champion who played for Clemson from 2012-2014, hosted the Touchback to Giveback Saturday, Pinion, along with his wife Kaeleigh and Convoy of Hope, gave away shoes, socks, groceries, school supplies, haircuts, and hot meals to kids at the school under sunny skies at the school.

Pinion wasn’t alone - Clemson football players like KJ Henry, Jake Briningstool, and BT Potter were there to help, along with the legendary Jeff Davis, National Championship soccer player Isaiah Reed, and even Carla “Momma” Boyd.
…
Pinion planned for 1000 kids and there was a huge turnout, with Pinion running around making sure everything was running smooth.

“It means the world to me because like I said, without the Clemson fans and without those that have supported the NFL, it’s just a game we’re playing, right?”

141 - Chansi Stuckey Gained 141 Receptions for Clemson (Intended for Yesterday)

Apr 13, 2024, 12:03 AM

Morning All! Acknowledging a mea culpa! I made a mistake yesterday. I meant to post two posts related to the Number 141 – one post on Tony Steward and one post on Chansi Stucky. I mistakenly posted the wrong posts. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the mistake until late in the afternoon/early evening. If anyone is interested, I here is the post on Chansi Stuckey that was intended for yesterday today. TNet, please accept my apologies!

Chasi Stuckey has long been a fan favorite among Clemson fans. Very dynamic player for sure!

At Clemson:

QB/WR Chansi Stuckey (20023-2006) began his Clemson career as a QB, backing up Charlie Whitehurst. He switched to WR before the 2004 season and excelled! SI.com provides the following stats on Chansi Stuckey while at Clemson:

Initially a quarterback, Stuckey threw 21 passes as a redshirt freshman in 2003 before moving to wide receiver. He led Clemson in catches and receiving yards in 2005 and 2006, and he tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns each season.

Stuckey hauled in 64 passes for 770 yards and three scores in 2005 and 50 passes for 700 yards and four touchdowns in 2006 while playing just 10 games. Stuckey was Clemson's punt returner in 2005, returning 27 punts, including a 46-yard return for a touchdown in a 25-24 win over 17th-ranked Texas A&M.

His best game came in 2005 when he hauled in 11 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-14 win over 17th-ranked Florida State. Stuckey scored on catches of 22 and 32 yards in the victory. He capped off his career with 5 catches for 93 yards in a Music City Bowl loss to Kentucky.

Stuckey's position coach at Clemson was Dabo Swinney.

ClemsonTigers.com added the following information:

Stuckey graduated from Clemson in 2006 after a stellar career in which he became the first Clemson player since the forties to score a Touchdown via pass, rush, punt return and reception and first since 1971 to earn All-ACC honors in consecutive seasons. He was also the first player in Clemson history to post consecutive games with multiple touchdown receptions.

In addition to his dynamic play on the field, Clemson student Chansi Stuckey also served as a student intern in the Sports Information office. According to ClemsonTigers.com, Tim Bourret described student intern Stuckey as follows:

I knew Stuckey would be successful regardless of his career path just by the way he interacted with the other student assistants in our office. He was inquisitive about the job and he was not going through the motions for course credit.

“I learned a lot,” said Stuckey. “I didn’t know anything about sports information when I started. I thought all that information came out of thin air. I saw a lot of work by many people involved.”

Tim Bourret’s article on ClemsonTigers.com (above) also provided information on Stuckey after his NFL playing days:

“After his playing days were over, Stuckey moved to California and searched for his next calling. He spent time with former Clemson teammate Jock McKissic, who was a television actor. Stuckey spent some time in that profession as well.

His life path changed in January 2019, and his alma mater’s success on the gridiron had a lot to do with it.

“I was living in California and Clemson was in the national championship game against Alabama in Santa Clara. Jock and I decided to go to the game and we met with Coach Swinney.

“Coach Swinney brought us in to meet the team and all the families. I had not thought about going into coaching at that point, but meeting those players and seeing the family atmosphere again made me think.
…
Stuckey came to Clemson in the winter of 2019 for Junior Day, and he talked seriously about coming to Clemson in some capacity. Swinney had one position open for a video graduate assistant.

“Coach Swinney didn’t think I would take it. He had talked to me in 2017 about joining the recruiting office, but it just wasn’t the right time.”

But this time, Stuckey was all in and came to Clemson for the 2019 season, a year the Tigers again reached the national championship game.

Stuckey was then elevated to a development coach for the 2020 season, another College Football Playoff season for the Tigers. At the end of the year, he was named wide receivers coach at Baylor.

“Coach Swinney told me once I got into the profession, I would be on the fast track. He gave me confidence and I learned so much from him and the other coaches on the staff.”

https://clemsontigers.com/chansi-stuckey-2023-program-story/

Dabo was correct. Chansi Stuckey’s coaching career has been on the fast track. According to Wikipedia:

“Stuckey was named the wide receivers coach at Baylor on January 5, 2021.

Stuckey was named the wide receivers coach at Notre Dame on January 12, 2022.”
