Can Richard progress into an All-ACC tight end?

When you are the nephew of former Georgia great and Heisman Trophy winning running back Herschel Walker, there is a certain level of expectations that comes with it whether it’s fair or not.

Such expectations were placed on Milan Richard when he came to Clemson in 2014, even though he plays a different position. With all the great tight ends Clemson has had in recent years—Michael Palmer, Dwayne Allen and Jordan Leggett—it just seemed natural, given his family history, Richard’s name would be right up there with them.

However, that has not been the case, but that’s not Richard’s fault.
