Etienne's decision to return pays off with first-round pick

Last year, Travis Etienne decided to come back for his senior because he felt like he still had things he wanted to accomplish in college.

Since then, the Clemson running back has become the ACC’s all-time leading rusher, scorer and touchdown leader, while leading the Tigers to a third straight ACC Championship. He also earned his college degree this past December.

On Thursday, the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Etienne with the No. 25 overall pick in the first round.

Etienne completed one of the most prolific careers in Clemson, ACC and college football history across the 2017-‘20 seasons.
