Joseph Ngata

Ngata seemingly only needs to stay healthy to have his long awaited breakout season. A huge-bodied 6-foot-4, 220 pound former five-star recruit, Ngata was the talk of camp as a freshman but played sparingly behind Justyn Ross and Tee Higgins as a freshman before injuries limited him to only four games last season and a disappointing seven catches for 83 yards. Clemson must replace a ton from it’s passing game, losing their top three options, totaling 178 grabs, 2,490 yards and 16 TDs. The expectation is that Ross is cleared from spinal fusion surgery and returns as the team’s top option, putting Ngata’s opportunity a bit into question, as he’ll battle for looks with other big options like E.J. Williams and Frank Ladson. There’s no doubting the talent or potential, just the health and target share, making Ngata a potential boom or bust pick.
