I know this is kind of a cop-out, but I think that both freshman wide receivers have the chance to earn playing time in 2019.

Will it be out of necessity? No.

But, Clemson has proven time and time again that if you’re a talented wide receiver, they’ll find a way to get you on the field early.

And then if you’re able to prove you’re ready once you get out on the field, you continually earn more playing time. I think you’ll see one of these guys emerge for decent playing time in 2019, but you’ll certainly see both of them play a lot of snaps early on.
