As Clemson opened training camp Friday afternoon behind the Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson, wide receiver Amari Rodgers was on the field.
The junior, who tore his ACL in March, did not participate in any of the drills, but he was dressed for camp and was jogging around the practice fields as he continues his rehab on his injured knee. And though the Tigers are hoping to get Rodgers back at some point in the season, right now they have to prepare others to start for them in the slot.
From what was observed in Day 1 of camp, plus what co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Jeff Scott said afterwards, it appears senior Diondre Overton has an early lead on redshirt juniors Cornell Powell and T.
