K'Von Wallace is back in Clemson this summer training. 
He says most players don't go back to their alma maters to work out. But his love of Clemson, coupled with the resources the football program makes available to its former players now in the NFL, makes it a no-brainer to come back home.
Wallace, who is preparing for his fourth season with the Philadelphia Eagles, reflects on the differences between the college and professional game.
He also goes back to his difficult upbringing, part of which was spent living with his mother in public housing in Richmond as gunfire and drugs were common outside the home.
Wallace wore the same pair of shoes from eighth grade to 11th grade. Each year he’d take two brushes and a cup full of soapy water and wash the shoes to keep them fresh.
Wallace's Clemson career didn't get off to the best start. He said he was a loner, and had there been a transfer portal at the time he was a freshman (2016) he probably would've considered going elsewhere.
He ended up winning two national championships and going to four consecutive playoffs before he was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
He now looks back at his college career as the time he grew into a man, and he treasures his relationship with Dabo Swinney.
