2021 potentially could be Clemson’s best year in the NFL Draft

In the history of its football program Clemson has never had more than three players selected in the first round of an NFL Draft. Could that change next year?

Potentially, the Tigers could have as many as five players taken in the first round of next year’s draft. It’s too early to tell at this time, but you would have to think quarterback Trevor Lawrence, wide receiver Justyn Ross, running back Travis Etienne, left tackle Jackson Carman and defensive end Xavier Thomas would all be first round prospects.

Lawrence has a shot to be the first overall player taken in the draft.
