Deon Cain was on top of the world during his freshman campaign.
In the second half of the 2015 season, he became Clemson’s big-play threat, catching five touchdowns in the last six games of the regular season. Overall, he caught 34 balls for 582 yards and averaged a team-high 17.1 yards per catch.
With star wideout Mike Williams out with a neck injury, Cain became “the man” in the Tigers’ offense. Though he was just a freshman, he played a big role in leading the Tigers to another ACC Championship.
But sometimes, when someone gets a little too big, or tries to take advantage of their somewhat celebrity status, humility usually steps to the forefront.
