Why is Swinney so high on Amari Rodgers this year?
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says wide receiver Amari Rodgers looks like a pro.
“I would say the same thing about Amari that I said about Trevor Lawrence,” Swinney said.
Swinney has praised Lawrence’s performance in camp, saying the Clemson quarterback has taken his game to “a whole other level.” Rodgers could have turned professional after last season, but he decided to return to school for his senior year.
The Knoxville, Tenn., native felt as if he still had work to do and he wanted to showcase his talents more. Despite coming off an ACL he tore in the spring of 2019, Rodgers still caught 30 passes for 426 yards and four touchdowns.
