Clemson’s D-Line appears loaded for greatness for years to come

On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated put Clemson’s defensive line on the front of its weekly magazine in its annual college football issue.

Granted this was the first time Austin Bryant, Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins were on the cover of a magazine. In fact, their faces have been on just about every national and local preseason magazine this summer, including The Clemson Insider’s Back with a Vengeance edition.

However, gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated is a little different. SI is the oldest and the most prestigious sports magazine in the country.

“It’s cool now, but I think we will appreciate it more when we are in our 30s and are 40s, when we are done playing the game and we look back and maybe say ‘we had a good little run’ or whatever.
