A blend of size and strength, the former Clemson running back was a prospect in his own class coming out of school two years ago, eerily similar to that of Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook coming out of Florida State or DeMarco Murray coming out of Oklahoma back in 2011. Although Murray was both taller and touted a higher ceiling of speed , neither of the two possessed Etienne’s ability out the backfield that has flashed in every game but one so far in 2022.
Once thought of as the top back of the 2020 class, Etienne returned to school for his senior season in an attempt to boost his draft stock. Under COVID-19 restrictions and limitations surrounding on-campus workouts and a season ultimately in doubt as fall arrived, Etienne took Clemson’s campaign by the horns in 2021, progressing into arguably the nation’s top weapon in a 1-2 conversation with Harris.
For a program touting a daunting list of stars, Etienne more than etched his name as one of its brightest. And while his days at Clemson seem a long time ago after suffering a season-ending foot injury prior to opening week last summer, his health and presence this season alongside his Clemson teammate has showcased a new widget to the playbook offensive coordinator Press Taylor has at his disposal.
The last few weeks have seen Etienne explode into the ‘Comeback Player of the Year’ race. After 86 yards via 10 carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 and 114 yards and a touchdown against the New York Giants the week following, his best outing as pro came this past weekend in London, rushing for 156 yards via 24 carries and a trip to paydirt. He’s been electric, and really, a light of positivity for a Jaguars roster that’s now lost five straight.
