6. Travis Etienne

Travis Etienne brings us to our first of two current Clemson football players to make the list. We easily could’ve added Justyn Ross and Tee Higgins to the list, as well, but decided to stick to just two current players.

Etienne makes the list because of his pure explosiveness.

If you look at opposing defense’s game plans for the Tigers this season, most of them have keyed in on Etienne.

Even when Etienne isn’t gaining huge numbers, he is still an intricate part of the offense because he’s drawing the full attention from the opposing defense.

Etienne may possibly be the most explosive running back in the history of Clemson football and has an opportunity to leave the program as one of the most decorated running backs of all-time, breaking a ton of records along the way.
