Dabo Swinney is pretty confident none of his defensive linemen are going to make any magazine covers this summer. Last year, the Clemson coach said they spent the whole summer shooting what seemed like every magazine cover known to man.
Every national sports media outlet, from Sports Illustrated to ESPN The Magazine wanted to feature the Tigers’ former defensive line, which returned four All-Americans in Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, Dexter Lawrence and Austin Bryant. The media circus got so crazy, Swinney had seen enough, so he put a stop to it.
“I finally had to say we are not doing any more of that,” the Clemson head coach said.
