Travis Etienne Highlights
Travis Etienne NFL Draft Profile
Strengths
Travis Etienne has special big play ability. He has a burst that separates himself from the rest of the draft class. Etienne also has great balance, showing the ability to stay on his feet through contact. He also proved he can be a weapon as a receiver, totaling 588 receiving yards his senior year.
Weaknesses
His rushing numbers took a hit this season, when Clemson’s offensive line was worse. So, level of competition can be questioned. Etienne also constantly looks to bounce runs and doesn’t take what’s there. He has the tendency to not finish runs strong, whereas teams would love the running back that grinds for the extra yard.
