Elliott goes back in time to coach up his tight ends

There is no better way to show a pass catcher at Clemson how to do something than to have him watch Dabo Swinney do it. At least that is the way offensive coordinator Tony Elliott does it.

This past spring, while trying to teach his tight ends proper fundamentals and technique when it comes to being a receiver, Elliott reached deep inside the vault. What he pulled out was Swinney coaching up his receivers from a 2003 practice, a practice that included Elliott when he played for the now Clemson head coach.

Swinney, of course, was the position coach at the time under then head coach Tommy Bowden.
