4. TE Braden Galloway

One area that really hurt Clemson, in my opinion, offensively was the lack-of-production from the tight end position in the receiving game.

With Braden Galloway back full-time, that should change.

Galloway is expected to win the starting position at tight end and will be relied upon to not only be an explosive receiving option for the Tigers, but also to be a big blocker in the running game, which will feature Travis Etienne and Lyn-J Dixon.

Galloway is going to be an intricate part of this offense and he’ll need to step up into a new role as the featured guy at the position.
