When he came to Clemson in 2011, it was Charone Peake that was the highly touted guy not Sammy Watkins. Peake was rated as the No. 15 player in the country coming out of Dorman High School in nearby by Spartanburg, S.C. But as Watkins became a household name their freshman season, Peake was held up by a guy named DeAndre Hopkins, who became a first-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2013.
But Peake tore his ACL that following fall, which slowed him down for much of 2014 as well. Finally healthy again in 2015, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound wide receiver had the year everyone knew he was capable of having.
