Tigers can have fun with their ‘Jumbo Package’

Here is something for defensive coordinators to think about when they play No. 2 Clemson.

It is third- or fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line and Clemson sends in its “Jumbo Package,” which features two tight ends along with 6-foot-4, 310-pound defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, as well as 6-foot-5, 340-pound defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.

Wilkins lines up as the H-Back / tight end offset of the line of scrimmage on the strong side, while Lawrence sets up just to the right of quarterback Deshaun Watson as the fullback. When the ball is snapped, Watson fakes the handoff to running back Wayne Gallman, while at the same time Wilkins acts like he is going to hit someone and then escapes to the end zone where he catches the ball for an easy touchdown.
