Isaiah Simmons has a chance to join Clemson history tonight
With the NFL draft just hours away, former Clemson football linebacker Isaiah Simmons will add his name to the Clemson history books.
Going all the way back to the 1939 professional football draft when Don Willis became the first Clemson football player ever be drafted, there have been just 20 defensive players chosen in the first round of the draft.
Simmons will join former linebackers, Wayne Simmons (1993), Anthony Simmons (1998), and Stephone Anthony (2015) as the only Clemson linebackers to be chosen in the first round of the NFL draft.
There is no doubt that tonight will be a special night and the culmination of a long hard-fought trip for Isaiah Simmons.
