Like his counterpart on Clemson’s defensive line, Clelin Ferrell played half of the 2018 football season injured, and no one outside of the football program had any idea.
The projected top-10 pick in next month’s NFL Draft revealed he played the first half of the year with turf toe, an injury he reaggravated Monday, which kept him out of Clemson’s Pro Day on Thursday.
“It healed up pretty much halfway through the season,” Ferrell said at the Poe Indoor practice facility in Clemson. “I went through the combine, I was fine.”
Ferrell projects as a high-end pass rusher and is expected to be one of the top defensive ends taken off the board when the NFL Draft gets started on April 25.
