Tight end position could finally be Clemson’s secret weapon, again

It will be interesting to see how well Clemson progresses at the tight end position now that offensive coordinator Tony Elliott is the position coach.

A former receiver, Elliott will bring a different dynamic to a unit that did show vast improvement in 2020. Can the Tigers’ get back to where it was when Jordan Leggett was hauling in 40-plus receptions for 700 yards during their run to a national championship in 2016?

There is a chance.

Braden Galloway and Davis Allen made huge strides last year. Galloway caught 27 passes for 369 yards and two scores, while Allen collected four touchdowns on 16 receptions for 247 yards.
