Clemson Football: Tigers’ WRs are starting to take shape

Following a quiet start, the Clemson football wide receivers are beginning to show us what we thought we’d see at the beginning of this season.

The Clemson football passing attack developed greatly over the month of October.

The Tigers came out and had some struggles moving the ball- especially in the passing game. It’s been well-documented that Trevor Lawrence has thrown double his interception total from last season and, for some reason, the offense looked out of sync in September.

Even though the unit looked out of sync, they still were scoring points at a high clip in every game except the UNC matchup.

Over the past few weeks, though, we’ve started to see that Clemson football wide receiver core come to life. At the beginning of the season, we were mainly seeing Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers get the majority of the receptions.

Many Clemson football fans were wondering if Justyn Ross would be targeted more as the season progressed- and he has.

As we enter the month of November, the wide receiver group has really started to take shape.

You’ve got three of the top options in the nation in Higgins, Rodgers and Ross, but it doesn’t stop there. Diondre Overton just had three touchdown receptions and looks as if he’s going to be an intricate part of the game plan moving forward. In addition to those four, the Tigers have built depth with the likes of Frank Ladson, Joseph Ngata, Cornell Powell and TJ Chase.

As we get into the month of November, I expect that we’ll see more of the two freshmen with Overton as part of the second-string group. These wide receivers are only going to get better and I expect that we’re going to see a major jump in the passing game over the next few games.

Trevor Lawrence has one of the deepest groups of wide receivers in his arsenal and with him coming into his own, it should be expected that these wide receivers are going to develop even more, as well.
