CLEMSON - Everybody has their “why.”
For some, the hope is that a successful season might translate to a shot at the pros.
Maybe it is bouncing back after an injury, proving to yourself that you could make such a comeback.
For Clemson’s Collin Sadler, his why runs deeper than just football.
Sadler is driven by the memory of his late grandfather, John Schroeder. Schroeder played wide receiver at North Carolina in the 1960s, receiving academic All-American honors. He also had a pro career in the CFL, playing for the Hamilton Wildcats.
