When Adam Humphries ran a 4.51 in the 40-yard dash at Clemson’s Pro Day two weeks ago, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said the Spartanburg, S.C. native did all he needed to do to get his shot at making an NFL roster.

No, he isn’t saying Humphries is going to get drafted when the 2015 NFL Draft begins on April 30, but Swinney believes he brings other things to the table that an NFL team is going to appreciate.

“He is going to get more than a shot,” Swinney said. “Adam Humphries is going to make it. He is going to make it. He is a better than average wideout guy, but an outstanding special teams guy. He is a guy that can play gunner, jammer, frontline on kickoff return, he can be a kickoff coverage guy, return guy, he can do all those things.”

Humphries did a lot of things at Clemson. Coming into college with blue-chip wideouts in Sammy Watkins, Martavis Bryant and Charone Peake, Humphries was forced to show the coaching staff h was willing to do whatever it took to get on the field. And because of that, he got on the field often.

As a freshman Humphries got his opportunity by doing pretty much everything from catching passes, to running the football, to returning punts. He even caught a key pass against Wake Forest that set up Chandler Catanzaro’s 43-yard field goal to send the Tigers to the ACC Championship Game.

In his sophomore year, Humphries responsibilities increased and so did his playing time, as he hauled in 41 passes for 280 yards despite living in the shadows of superstars like Watkins, Bryant and DeAndre Hopkins. He caught 41 receptions again as a junior, this time going for 483 yards and two touchdowns.

Humphries finished his Clemson career with 127 receptions for 1,097 yards and three touchdowns.

But Humphries was more than a receiver. As Swinney alluded to, he can offer and NFL team more than just being a third-down possession type receiver. Many guys of Humphries size—5-foot-11, 190-pounds—have made a living in the NFL for years as a special teams player.

Perhaps Humphries greatest play as a Tiger came on special teams when he returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown against Louisville this past fall. He finished that afternoon with eight returns for 107 yards.

“I’m really excited for Adam,” Swinney said. “He isn’t going to make a team at a combine, but when he gets between the lines he will do what he does. If he stays healthy, I really believe he will make a roster.”
