One man’s pain can be another man’s opportunity.
That’s the way it works in football at times, especially when players are competing for playing time during spring drills and in fall camp.
There is no doubt Clemson’s wide receivers are hurting today after learning one of their own, junior Amari Rodgers, tore his ACL in Monday’s practice. It is not easy seeing one of your brothers–someone they work out with, eat with and hang out with–go down with an injury.
However, this is also an opportunity for guys like Cornell Powell, T.J. Chase and Diondre Overton to prove to the coaches they are ready to step and fill Rodgers’ void.
