I was teammate of Duce in 93 at Airport. I saw first hand practice and on Friday nights how incredible a player Duce was. My best memory was watching him catch passes at practice. Duce had the best hands catching the football. I remember we would lineup in 2 fullback set on goal line then Duce would run in for TD. Duce had 70 catches for 1000 yards and total 24 touchdowns in his senior year. I hope to see his son Damani Staley playing in Detroit soon and Duce be head coach in the NFL.

I remember the Deuce days very well. 95 was my freshman year. I don't think anyone thought Deuce was gonna be able to play in that Clemson game. I think the ankle injury really overshadowed his final days at USC, and perhaps that's why he's not ranked higher. In my mind he's one of the top backs we ever had.
