Clemson’s offensive coaches will tell anyone the height of their efficiency came during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. That is when they had an answer for just about everything a defense threw at them.
Deshaun Watson was at quarterback and could run and sling the football with the best of them. Wayne Gallman was churning out 1,500-yard seasons on the ground, while Mike Williams, Artavis Scott, Deon Cain, Hunter Renfrow and Ray-Ray McCloud were all playmakers at wide receiver.
Then there was Clemson’s secret weapon. Tight end Jordan Leggett.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound tight end, who could run routes like a receiver, stretched the field in a way the Tigers still have not been able to duplicate since.
