I’ve been seeing posts on here along the lines of “I thought DG wanted character guys” “Lawrence is a cheater, why was he brought in”.
I have a family member that coaches at Clemson and naturally I inquired. I’ll type the text I received verbatim.
“Y’all got an absolute monster. I’ve watched him to turn from just a big strong kid into an absolute wrecking ball in the middle of that line. That “banned substance” was horse shit. Dex is an absolute class act, locker room leader and will be one of the if not the biggest fan favorite on the defensive side. Great guy with great character. He was a steal at 17”
I met him once when I watched one of their practices. He’s a Giant with unreal athleticism. Was taking pictures with kids, doing fun and crazy poses. I came away thinking he was awesome.

I don’t think anyone really considers him a cheater. A
He is a steal at 17.
This would have been nice for sure. I'm going to wait and see what Jones brings before I freak out. I'm hoping DG got it right and I'm grateful we have a guy in Shurmur that appears to be able to bring the best out of QB's.
This is from the US Anti-Doping Agency's website:
It’s also important to note that ostarine is not a permitted ingredient in dietary supplements. However, you should be aware that some dietary supplement manufacturers illegally put SARMs like ostarine in their products and sell them as “legal steroids” or “research only” chemicals. Moreover, they may omit ostarine from the label entirely, or use misleading names to confuse consumers. For example, ostarine may also be called enobosarm, MK-2866, or GTx-024.
I usually call BS on the "I had no idea" defense but there seems to be a real case for it here.

I think football organizations at all levels banned it after the Eagles' SB parade.

Well done
That's the way people operate around here
Wouldn’t have minded him at 6, he’s more than just a “2 down run stuffer”.
On this, I agree with you. What's disappointing other than that I think Jones is never going to be more than an average NFL QB is that they could have added a top pass rusher AND a destructive interior lineman, completely transforming the defense. Instead, we only got half of that and are still in dire need of a pass rush.

If we went Allen + Lawrence we'd be singing in the streets.

I'm willing to see how it plays out. But I can't help but feel like we missed an amazing opportunity to completely rebuild this defense in a single night. Jones better work out.
I am too - I really liked this pick. Dex is going to be a beast.
