Clemson Coaches on Zimmerman “Another big-bodied wideout, he’s got the ability at 6’4″ 195 to work smaller corners. In this type of offense, you can get some small slot receiver that don’t have to have a lot of size, but your outside perimeter guys that go against corners, need to be more physical type guys, and Tymmere has that quality.” – Tommy Bowden
