To say those that follow college football were shocked to see Travis Etienne announce he was returning for his senior season at Clemson would be a mild understatement. Even the college football experts were shocked.
However, that decision paid off big time for Etienne last night as the first round of the 2020 NFL draft unfolded.
Pick after pick was made from NFL teams last night and with just one pick remaining in the first round, a runningback finally heard his name called near midnight on the east coast. LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire was the one and only running back taken in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft.
