When the 60,000 fans saw Joseph Ngata and Frank Ladson making plays in Clemson’s spring game this past April, it’s what they expected. The two freshmen wide receivers were highly coveted in the recruiting process and both were talked about a lot from the coaches and other players leading up to the annual spring game.
However, what head coach Dabo Swinney noticed was something the average Joe would not recognize from the stands. Swinney noticed how much both players improved when it came to using their hands, something they very rarely had to do in high school.
“They were not very good with their hands (at first) because they never had to play with their hands,” Swinney said.
