Clemson had three former players playing in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Wide receiver Sammy Watkins, cornerback Bashaud Breeland and linebacker Dorian O’Daniel all play for the Kanas City Chiefs, who are making their first trip to the Super Bowl in 50 years.
All three Tigers know what is like to take their team to new heights. Watkins and Breeland were on Clemson’s first ACC Championship team in 20 years back in 2011, as well as the program’s first 10-win team in 21 years.
O’Daniel was a part of another milestone. He was on the first Clemson team since 1981 to win a national championship back in 2016.
