2023 NFL Draft interview: Chattanooga OL McClendon Curtis

It seems very likely that FCS school Chattanooga will see offensive linemen selected in consecutive NFL Drafts.

One year after Cole Strange went No. 29 overall to the Patriots, the Mocs have another stud lineman in McClendon Curtis, a four-year starter who won the Jacobs Blocking Award as the best blocker in the Southern Conference. Though he comes from a smaller school, he shouldn’t be considered a deep sleeper by any means, seeing as though he earned invitations to both the Senior Bowl and the Combine. He’s firmly on the radar of NFL teams and figures to be drafted come late April.
