It’s not often that wide receivers are compared to offensive linemen, but Clemson coach Dabo Swinney did just that this week.
Of course, it had nothing to do with physical stature even if some of the Tigers’ wideouts are just as tall as their teammates up front. It had everything to do with the versatility of the group.
“Kind of like the o-line, we’ve cross-trained a lot of guys,” Swinney said.
A deep receiver corps has gotten even deeper heading into the season with the return of Clemson’s No. 1 wideout, Justyn Ross, who’s healthy again after missing all of last season after undergoing corrective spinal fusion surgery.
