Center confident in NFL hopes despite combine snub

Of Clemson’s 10 starters from last season who are pursuing professional football careers, nine were invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.

The one who didn’t receive a ticket to Indianapolis was Jay Guillermo, the Tigers’ starting center the past two years.

That meant his only opportunity to do a pre-draft workout for scouts was at Clemson’s pro day. Guillermo said he’s confident he can make it at the next level.

“All I need is a chance,” Guillermo said.

He made his mark on pro day right from the first drill, the bench press, where he raised the 225-pound bar 33 times.
