Now that he is a year removed from tearing and having surgery on his right knee, Amari Rodgers has a better understanding of how his injury impacted his performance in 2019.
It is not that Rodgers had a bad year, he caught 30 passes for 426 yards and scored four touchdowns. But the Knoxville, Tenn., native had bigger goals and aspirations for 2019.
The fact the wide receiver played in 14 of Clemson’s 15 games last year was an accomplishment in and of itself. But Rodgers thought he could do more, something he really did not get a true grasp on until he got in camp and noticed how different of a player he is this year than he was last year.
