Tiger fans review "Safety": Clemson shines in Disney spotlight

The Disney movie “Safety” probably won’t win any Academy Awards and its release straight to streaming services ensures it won’t set any box office records. What it has done is take the Clemson world by storm.

The movie, the true story of Ray "Ray Ray" McElrathbey and his younger brother Fahmarr, was released to Disney’s streaming service Friday and Clemson fans didn’t waste any time in watching the movie.

McElrathbey played for the Tigers from 2005-07, when a guy named Dabo Swinney was the wide receivers coach under Tommy Bowden. As the brothers’ mother battled drug addiction and their father struggled with gambling, McElrathbey didn't want Fahmarr to get lost in the foster care system.
