Most of those leaving Clemson have aspirations to play in the NFL and have since they started playing the game years ago. As we all know, the game is cruel and many of those that leave eventually have their dreams crushed.
Don’t mistake what that means, a player can be an all-time college great and not be good enough to play at the next level. Making it in the NFL requires everything to go your way, meaning, you have to get with the right team at the right time with the right coaches and the right scheme with the right teammates.
