CLEMSON — It certainly would be understandable for Hunter Renfrow to have football on his mind on the eve of his youth football camp, but Renfrow’s nighttime thoughts took an odd turn Friday night.

“I had a dream that I was a Patriot last night,” Renfrow said. “It was the weirdest thing.”

Maybe, but perhaps not so far-fetched.

It has been widely speculated that the former Clemson wide receiver would be a natural fit for the New England Patriots, continuing an impressive line of slot receivers for the franchise that has included similarly sized pass catchers such as Wes Welker, Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman.

“I went to sleep and I woke up and I was having a meeting with Tom Brady,” Renfrow said. “It was weird. I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”

Renfrow, a former walk-on who became the Tigers’ 2016 National Championship Game hero, has been in contact with all 32 NFL teams during his participation in the Senior Bowl in January, the NFL Scouting Combine in February and Pro Day in Clemson last Thursday.

But joining the Patriots, who have won three of the past five Super Bowls, would be…well, a dream come true.

“I mean, they win,” Renfrow said during the Combine. “Just being part of a winning team would be neat. Playing with a guy like Tom Brady and under, beside Julian Edelman, who can kind of teach you the nuances of the position, would be a huge advantage for me.”
