The knee brace that Clemson receiver Amari Rodgers had to wear upon his return to the field last season following his ACL tear the previous spring is now a thing of the past, and Rodgers feels his speed is on a different level minus the brace.
“I’m definitely faster without it, without a doubt,” Rodgers told reporters this week ahead of the Tigers’ season opener at Wake Forest on Saturday. “I haven’t had the brace since spring. I just had to wear it during the season last year. I haven’t had a brace on since spring practice started, so I’ve been without a brace for a while now.
