It was a popular topic for many talk show hosts just a couple of weeks ago.
Dabo Swinney selected John Simpson, a veteran offensive guard, to represent Clemson football at the 2019 ACC Football Kickoff instead of Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Justyn Ross or Tee Higgins.
With the big names staying at home, many media members argued that the Tigers were hurting the conference’s exposure and their own by sending an offensive lineman instead.
It should be noted that Dabo Swinney has always selected veterans to attend Media Days and has elected to reward his experienced players.
