Recently, former Clemson star and current Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Christian Wilkins appeared on The Players Club Podcast, a college football show hosted by now-former Clemson running back, Darien Rencher.
During their conversation, Rencher asked Wilkins to rattle off his top-5 Clemson defensive linemen. That’s a tall task, given the lengthy, star-studded history of the program at that position.
Here’s Wilkins’ list in no particular order:
- Grady Jarrett
- Vic Beasley
- William “The Fridge” Perry
- DaQuan Bowers
- Gaines Adams
Even though he is more than worthy of being considered, Wilkins did not include himself. He did, however, include four former first-round draft picks and Jarrett, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL draft.
