#3 Jonathan Allen Is Superman

Clemson has highly rated defenders: Ben Boulware; Carlos Watkins; Christian Wilkins; Dexter Lawrence.

None of them are Superman.

Jonathan Allen is the best defensive player in the nation. He should have been a Heisman finalist. Allen was the SEC defensive player of the year and winner of the Bednarik and Nagurski awards, both honors for the nation’s best defensive player of the year.

Allen can play inside or out and he will wear out and dominate any player Clemson puts up against him. Clemson could try to double him at times. If they do it is almost assured an unblocked Crimson defender will de-cleat Gallman or Watson.

Message to Clemson, ”Don’t mess with Superman.”
