Former Clemson running back Travis Etienne had an impressive showing in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season on Sunday. Etienne and the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 31-21.
In the 10-point victory, Etienne finished with 77 rushing yards and one touchdown on 18 carries. He had five receptions for 27 yards.
Etienne’s biggest play came on a 27-yard rush in the fourth quarter when he was patient at the line of scrimmage before bursting through a hole and scoring a touchdown to give Jacksonville a two-score lead.
Now in his third season with the Jaguars, the former Clemson tailback has become a staple of the offense, helping former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the backfield.
Here’s Etienne’s first score of the season:
