You truly couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. Just look at those stats boys.

My first thought "a 63 to 38 TD to INT ratio isnt bad"...
My second thought "Oh wait that is reversed holy hell."

Legend or not, Clemson wanted him. As I understand it from people "in the know", Danny Ford recruited him hard.

At Clemson and under the right coaching, he might have been good. Key word is "might". Instead, he never will know.

Ford wanted option style, dual-threat quarterbacks and Ellis was slow as Christmas and pro-style.

Clemson did recruit Ellis hard. At the time we were trying to move to a more pro-style offense with Randy Anderson. Ellis didn't sign with Clemson because we had signed Rodney Williams the year before, who was one of the top-ranked QBs in the country

He would have had splinters in his butt if he was competing against "Rotney"...

The man to turn us into a more pro style offense no question but it just never worked as rushing the ball. Plus I think we lost a highly touted receiver due to a bad car accident but not sure if that happened during the Anderson project. Was the receiver's name Montgomery? Been a while.

but Ellis was afraid of competition at the QB position since Clemson had already signed Rodney Williams so he opted to play for the University of Second Choice instead.

His 8,000 yards must have included the yardage his interceptions were returned. If it hadn't been for Sterling Sharpe and Ryan Bethea, his completion rate would have been about 25% .... if that high!
