When Travis Etienne watches film from his freshman season at Clemson, he is amazed at how far he has come.
“I didn’t realize I was that bad,” the Heisman Trophy candidate said.
It’s not that Etienne was a bad running back. It’s just he did not do the other things very well that a Clemson running back is required to do.
“He’s embraced that if he wants to perform at the next level, he has to be a third-down type of guy from a pass protection standpoint and a receiving standpoint,” Clemson co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott said.
