The Clemson football faithful held out hope that the former Tiger Isaiah Simmons would become a ‘hometown hero’ and be drafted by the Carolina Panthers with pick No. 7.
Instead, the Panthers chose to take a defensive tackle in Derrick Brown (Auburn) over Simmons. That absolutely disgusted and crushed the hearts of Clemson football fans everywhere.
A good portion of Clemson football fans are also Carolina Panthers fans. The Tigers have won five-straight ACC Championships, most of which have been played in Bank of America Stadium where the Panthers play.
The Panthers have never drafted a Clemson football player, and that trend continued Thursday night.
