Christian Wilkins is a special athlete. He’s going to be a phenomenal defensive lineman in the NFL after he’s done playing for Clemson. But this year he’s become somewhat of a reliable scoring threat in the red zone, too.

On Saturday night against South Carolina, Clemson lined up two defensive linemen in the backfield on offense for a toss sweep that was capped off by Wilkins crashing into the end zone like it was the most natural thing in the world.

The Tigers have been so darn good all year. Having this kind of weapon is only one more incredible tool that Dabo Swinney has at his disposal.
