Michael Palmer brought Clemson reliable TE production and red-zone value
Michael Palmer was a productive, physically reliable Clemson tight end who became a true difference-maker in the passing game, finishing his senior year with 43 catches for 507 yards and 4 touchdowns and earning first-team All-ACC honors in 2009.[3][4] He stood out for his size (6-5, 252), steady hands, and ability to move the chains, with 21 catches in one season marking the most by a Tiger tight end in 25 years.[1][5] That profile fits a team looking for a tough, proven TE who can contribute immediately as a possession target and red-zone option.[1][3]
