Former Clemson running back C.J. Spiller was named Wednesday by CBS Sports.com as one of the greatest college football players of all-time.

The Clemson great, who had his No. 28 retired in 2010, was listed as an Honorable Mention on the network’s all-time All-American Team as college Football celebrates 150 years this season. Spiller was honored as a punt and kick return specialist on the all-time team.

Spiller is perhaps the best overall player in Clemson history. His 7,588 all-purpose yards is the most in ACC history and is second best in the NCAA.

He rushed for 3,547 yards in his Clemson career, while also receiving 1,420 more.
