This is where Clanton can use his speed to attack the outside and has shown multiple times the ability to turn the corner and outrun defenders to pick up significant yardage. Clanton has a long stride and appears to effortlessly outrun defenders at times. Clanton has a slashing, one-cut type of running style that could be an effective tempo switch-up.rn
