Clemson football wide receivers coach Tyler Grisham seemed to call out juniors Frank Ladson Jr and Joseph Ngata at the Clemson football media day.

Clemson football has become known as “WRU” for a good reason. Over the last decade receiver after receiver has come out of the program and been able to be productive at the NFL level; many didn’t even hear their names called during the NFL draft.

With the injuries to Ngata and Ladson in 2020 as well as Justyn Ross missing the entire year because of a degenerative neck issue, Amari Rodgers and Cornell Powell took advantage and become the next in line for the NFL pipeline.
