Clemson Receiver Seth Ryan, Son Of Rex Ryan, Breaks Collarbone At Practice
CLEMSON, S.C. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Clemson receiver Seth Ryan, the son of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, broke his collarbone at practice Monday.
The school said Ryan, an original walk-on, was making a diving catch in the end zone when he got hurt. Ryan is a redshirt freshman who sat out last season, his first since enrolling at Clemson.
Rex said the first text he got after his son was injured was from Mark Sanchez asking for Seth's number #nyj

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Ryan was playing well, but will be out for a while with the injury. Swinney said he expected the 5-foot-11, 160-pound Ryan to be a good player for the Tigers down the road.
The Jets coach has spent plenty of time at Clemson with his son. He attended the Tigers' 38-35 victory over Georgia last season at Death Valley. He has been a regular at Clemson's pro prospect days in recent seasons.
