He has a hell of a resumé. Let's dive in, shall we?

He has a hell of a resumé. Let's dive in, shall we?
Firstly, I know it was a weird year for Clemson, but Etienne averaged 7.8 YPC in 2019, 8.1 YPC in 2018, and 7.2 YPC his freshman year in 2017. This year, he averaged 5.4. Plenty respectable, but that's a pretty big drop.
Travis also climbed from 37 receptions in 15 games last year to 48 receptions in 12 games this year, further solidifying his receiving resumé.
Man there is a lot of film on Travis. Gotta love that. (Thanks @DynastyNerds!)
Let's start with his 2020 playoff matchup with Ohio State. Not a great day statistically, so let's figure out why. 10 carries, 32 yards, 1 TD, with 4 receptions for 64 yards as well.

More receiving work. Shows good looseness in his hips and is a downhill runner once he has the ball in his hands.
The defense rallies to the ball so fast here. Really wasn't anywhere for him to go. Tight end Braden Galloway (#88) straight up clotheslines the DB and gets away with it.
One thing you'll see from Travis is that they will line him up out wide as a receiver. Straight up weapon. While it's a simple route, it's encouraging usage.
