Travis Etienne provided many reasons why he was coming back, all of which anyone paying attention to the type of program Coach Swinney runs understood.

Earlier this week, Rubbing The Rock, dispelled the money reasons and showed that by coming back Travis Etienne stands to make nearly $20 million more on his first contract as he will go from the sixth or seventh best running back in the 2020 NFL to the top running back in the 2021 NFL draft class.
