2020 NFL mock draft: Saints get big-time Clemson RB Travis Etienne

The New Orleans Saints added a big talent at an interesting position in the latest 2020 NFL mock draft from Luke Easterling over at Draft Wire. Easterling has the Saints picking Clemson Tigers running back Travis Etienne, a junior who has already scored 37 touchdown runs in his first two years. He’s also averaged 7.8 yards per carry in that time, leading Clemson in every rushing category last season: run attempts (203), rushing yards (1,658), and yards per attempt (8.l).

Listed at 5-foot-10 and 215 pounds on the official team website, Etienne fits the Saints’ prototype for the position but doesn’t possess the well-rounded set of skills they prefer.
