Of all the wide receiver positions, the slot position is Clemson’s deepest. Despite losing starter Amari Rodgers to a torn ACL in the back half of spring practice, the Tigers are still in a very good spot when it comes to quality depth at the position.
Don’t get me wrong, not having Rodgers for the first two-plus months of the season hurts a little. The junior started all 15 games last year at field receiver. He finished second on the squad with 55 receptions for 575 yards (third on the team) and 4 receiving touchdowns (third on the team).
