At Clemson, players like C.J. Spiller and Tajh Boyd set the foundation for Clemson’s current success – five consecutive ACC Championships, four consecutive College Football Playoff appearances, and two national championships.
Oakland Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock is hoping the trio of Tigers he selected in last week’s NFL Draft will serve as foundation players for a young team and new coaching staff.
The Raiders drafted defensive end Clelin Ferrell with the fourth overall pick, cornerback Trayvon Mullen with the No. 40 pick in the third round and Hunter Renfrow in the fifth round.
