Earlier this spring, Dabo Swinney told members of the media he had a lot of potty training to do with the defensive line before the Tigers kick off the 2019 season against Georgia Tech in August.
Clemson held its first practice in 10 days on Monday after taking an extended rest period in the middle of spring camp to recover and enjoy spring break.
Typically, Swinney runs the seven-on-seven drills for the offense, but on Monday he gave his whistle to quarterbacks coach Brand Streeter as he went to investigate the defensive line’s progress.
Lack of experience is noticeable on a defensive line that is rebuilding from the Power Ranger era of Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence, Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant and is still looking for younger guys to stand up and fill those rolls.
