When Tony Elliott watches No. 88 run a route or catch the football, he sometimes has to do a double take.
At first he just assumes it is Jordan Leggett doing his thing out there, like he did for so many years on the Clemson practice fields. Then he remembers Jordan Leggett is practicing in New Jersey as a member of the New York Jets.
Who is No. 88? It’s freshman Braden Galloway.
“Sometimes you have to look at the numbers because you are like, ‘Man!’ He is reminiscent of Leggett,” Clemson’s co-offensive coordinator said.
Obviously, Galloway still has a long ways to go, but all the offensive coaches have been impressed with his demeanor and the way he has come in and comprehended what he has been taught.
