Clemson quarterbacks in Pro Football: It’s not a long list
Deshaun Watson leaves Clemson as the most decorated player in school history. His records are numerous as he holds the mark for many game, season and career records. But how much of that will translate to the NFL?
Throughout the years Clemson had some great quarterbacks – Tajh Boyd, Charlie Whitehurst, Woodrow Dantzler, Nealon Greene, Rodney Williams, Homer Jordan and of course Steve Fuller. But only Whitehurst and Fuller had an extended career in the NFL.
Whitehurst, the only quarterback in the history of the Clemson-South Carolina rivalry to go 4-0, just finished up his 11th NFL season, while Fuller played nine seasons in the league while helping the Chicago Bears win Super Bowl XX in 1985.
