They’re 0-3 in the Dome in the playoffs if I’m not mistaken assuming they lose tonight.

I don’t see NFL Hall of Fame greatness, but he will be a very good starting RB in the league. I agree that financially he was better off coming out last season.

He hurt his draft stock by returning but one assumes he’ll leave Clemson with a degree.

I still don’t understand why he and the Bama rb came back. Neither could really improve their draft position by much. Greater chance of tanking it. Even D. Smith coming back was weird. I thought he was better than Jeudy and Ruggs and said it in multiple threads last year.

Never understood him wanting to come back.

Not my proudest moment, but I’m so happy he goes out as a loser. Threw away a year of his NFL career for nothing. Hope he’s choking on “the real Death Valley”. Punk.


Kind of douchey

I think Najee may have made money this year by staying. He was great last year but dominant this year. I really believe that Trevor Lawrence and several of the Clemson players including Etienne were convinced that they would easily win the championship this year all the while they playing little league football (ACC).

Actually its 3. They lost to Bama in the semis his freshman or sophomore year i believe

More than that. He lost a state title game in the Dome too


Not so fast my friend. Jennings didn't make it to the Dome when he was there. His brother did, however, and lost.

I don’t get the bitterness toward Etienne. We put all our efforts toward Cam Akers and lost. We didn’t recruit Etienne like we should have. We got Clyde and he turned out ok I think. Sometimes chasing stars doesn’t work out. It all works out in the end.

I really held my breath there when he went down hard on his hip. He looked to be in pain. Would have hated for him to come out injured. He’s seems to be a good kid and made a decision we all wish our players would make and came back for another year.

Didn’t recruit Travis. Leave the kid alone.

We are recruiting Trevor. You guys are not really helping.

I didn’t get it either. Hate to say it but even if they’re wearing purple and gold, a guy like Etienne coming back for a 4th season for us would just make me feel bad.

They did

There were several tweets and such right after the ship last year from Clemson “don’t worry we will be back next year”

I see a lot of people on here bitching about players needing to come back another yr to raise their stock. Situations are different. Are you just saying RB coming back for his senior year is a dumb move? I could buy that.
Still. Kid will have a good shot on the NFL level.




He's not projected to go has high in the draft has he would have last season.
