Things did not start out so well for Clemson’s wide receivers in 2020.
All-ACC receiver Justyn Ross was lost for the year when he underwent spinal surgery on June 5. In the first game of the season, Joseph Ngata suffered an abdominal strain that nagged him all year. It eventually led to him missing the last five games of the season after he had surgery.
A few weeks after Ngata’s injury, Frank Ladson was banged up. He missed two full games because of an injured foot and he never totally healed.
At one point, Clemson was without all three players, who many expected to be starters along with senior Amari Rodgers.
