ESPN analyst ‘tired of everyone’ talking about Lawrence, not Etienne, regarding Clemson

DJ Uiagalelei certainly has big shoes to fill as the successor to Trevor Lawrence as Clemson’s starting quarterback. But of course, Lawrence isn’t the only superstar on offense that the Tigers are tasked with replacing this season.

Travis Etienne is now teammates with Lawrence in the NFL after both were picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. But despite how good Etienne was for the Tigers from 2017-20, ESPN’s Desmond Howard feels the loss of Etienne on Clemson’s offense is being overlooked because of Lawrence.

“I’m tired of everyone talking about Trevor Lawrence as if he was the only superstar they had on that fantastic team, you know what I mean,” Howard said on College Football Live recently.
