Andre Ellington was a Clemson home-run threat with rare open-field burst
At Clemson, Andre Ellington stood out as an explosive, versatile RB who combined big-play speed, receiving ability, and enough shiftiness to turn ordinary snaps into chunk gains; he finished his Tigers career with 3,436 rushing yards and 33 rushing TDs, plus 59 catches for 505 yards and 2 receiving TDs in the 2012-13 roster listing. He’s the kind of back who can change field position fast, but his pro profile also carried injury concerns—Ellington himself said injuries kept him from performing as well as he was capable of, which is the main fit question for teams weighing his upside against durability risk.
