After losing Jordan Leggett to the NFL, the tight end position wasn’t nearly as involved in Clemson’s offense in 2017.
As a senior, Leggett was second on the team in receiving with 46 catches for 736 yards and seven touchdowns. Milan Richard, Clemson’s most productive tight end in 2017, finished the year fifth on the team in receiving with just 18 receptions for 210 yards and one touchdown.
To be fair, the Tigers’ entire offense took a step back this season from a passing standpoint. In 2016, Clemson ranked 7th in passing offense, averaging 333.
