4. The depth at RB/DL is unreal

We can talk all day about some of the question marks surround this Clemson football team, but two areas that we won’t have to worry about are the running backs and defensive line.

The Tigers have an unreal amount of depth at those two positions, honestly unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

The running backs are currently five-deep (Travis Etienne, Lyn-J Dixon, Chez Mellusi, Michel Dukes and Darien Rencher) with two talented freshmen set to join the team this summer.

The defensive line group has talent all over it and there’s going to be more depth there than anything we’ve seen- even compared to that historic 2018 defensive line.
