Top 10 Clemson WRs since 1970:

Only college career included not NFL career:
1. Sammy Watkins
2. Nuk Hopkins
3. Mike Williams
4. Tee Higgins
5. Jerry Butler
6. Perry Tuttle
7. Hunter Renfrow
8. Rod Gardner
9. Aaron Kelly
10. tie Terry Smith/Artavis Scott
Justyn Ross had phenomenal years in 18 and 19 so I hated to leave him off. Injuries hurt him though, missing 2020 and playing injured in 2021.

I loved Artavis Scott, especially how he come back so quickly and effectively after his ACL tear.
Also really liked Jacoby Ford & Adam Humphries but they do not belong in top 10

I like the list. But I do think Amari Rodgers deserves honorable mention as does Jacoby Ford.

Great list! I have the same list just different order:
1. Watkins
2. Hopkins
3. Butler
4. Williams
5. Tuttle
6. Gardner
7. Scott
8. Renfrow
9. Higgins
10.Kelly
#1 is not debatable. 2-10 you could make arguments for in my opinion.

When Butler played we never threw on 1st down, usually had to be 3rd and 6 or more. Then it was usually thrown at Butler's knees on the sideline where he always made the catch!

Do we have anyone on the team or a committed recruit that will supplant any of these names?

Cases could be made for any of them being #1 in my opinion.
If I had to rank though I’d give the slightest of all edges to Nuk over the rest.

be, if I had to pick one guy, to catch one pass, to win me a game, that guy would be Mikey. Best "contested pass" receiver we ever had, hands down.

Will is a overachiever and the best holder we’ve ever had. He cost us nothing & had an incredible influence on the team.
I’ll take a Will Swinney every year, especially when his dad is a coot killer, took us to 6 playoffs in a row with 4 National Championship games and two more National Championships! Twelve 10 win seasons in a row including 5 12 win seasons in a row.
We have been blessed with the best football coach college football has ever had. Thank you Jesus for blessing the Clemson football team that framed Family in a time when woke tried to destroy togetherness.
Let’s go Tigers!

Great Work!
I would just move Renfrow to a tie for first with Hopkins, followed my Williams and Higgins tied. So hard to slight any of them - so many great contributions to our program. Sammy made a huge splash too so I understand you ranking him there; I wish he got the chance to play in some higher profile games.

Otherwise, I like the list.
