Clemson fans will remember this name … Derrick Hamilton, a.k.a. “Noodle.”
Hamilton was one of the most dynamic wide receivers in Clemson history. In just three years, he finished his career as the all-time in receptions (167), second in touchdown receptions (16) and fourth in receiving yards (2,312). He still ranks in the top 10 all-time in all three categories.
The Tigers also used Hamilton as a kick and punt returner. In 2003, his final year at Clemson, he averaged 34.5 yards on 11 kick returns, including a 100-yard touchdown. He also had a 79-yard punt return in 2002 and a 58-yard return in 2003.
