Swinney was quick to point out that Clemson has sent its fair share of O-linemen to the league – such as Brandon Thomas, who was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, and Tyler Shatley, who is entering his eighth season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, among other players.
“We’ve had some good players,” Swinney said.
