Travis Etienne returning to Clemson
- Thread starter ChiTownLion
- Start date
They have seemingly done a wonderful job of keeping draft eligible players on their roster. Wonder what their secret sauce is, besides the usual(Money, women, steriods, etc. )
Yes I'm envious but you gotta admit it's pretty cool. Hats off to him and the Clemson coaching staff.
Totally, and I wonder sometimes, in years we have been close, this year, would we have made the playoffs if one or more guys hung around? Just never know.
speaking of which...has Toney made a statement with regards to him staying or going?

Noble gesture and for sure being a star college football player at Clemson is a once in a lifetime experience. That said, risky decision given the lifespan of RBs in the NFL and how most are only good for one big contract after their rookie one.
True, but he can’t buy enough insurance to cover what he can make in the NFL. I think the kid is making a mistake but no one asked me of course.
Wow, someone is giving this kid some really bad advice. Dabo should be the first one telling this kid to move on with his career. He knows, better than any of these young men, the harsh realities of an NFL career, especially with running backs. Dabo is being selfish.
Close, but not quite, IMO. I don't think I'm just being a homer by putting Saquon on a higher level, but I really do think Etienne is one of the best I've seen. I'm surprised he's staying. I don't care what his reasons are, I'm glad to see it.
according to this artical today was the day.

I never said one was as good or better than the other. Etienne is risking a lot of money, and providing a great deal of talent, experience, and stability to Clemson. This gives Clemson a virtual lock to make it back to the CFP. Saquon would have increased our chances if he came back for senior year. And this was a thread and post about Etienne.
A very good, tough running back that’s undersized. He has very good low end speed but not much top end. I don’t see an NFL team picking him up until very late in the second round.
If Tennessee beats KC by shoving a steady diet of Derrick Henry 6” 3” & 249lbs down their throat NFL teams will focus more on drafting bigger backs like Henry and Elliot. JMHO
