CLEMSON – Xavier Thomas showed his speed, and Will Shipley showed off both his speed and his vertical jump.
Clemson held its annual Pro Day Thursday morning in the Poe Indoor Facility, and all 32 NFL teams were represented. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and Steelers GM Omar Khan were the two notable names in attendance.
The event was lower-key than in the past – no quarterbacks or wide receivers – but that allowed the focus to be on the Tigers’ smaller group of players. Players that participated (with recorded height and weight) were defensive tackle Tyler Davis (6-2, 300), cornerback Sheridan Jones (6-2, 184), defensive end Justin Mascoll (6-4, 255), defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro (6-4, 293), safety Jalyn Phillips (6-0, 204), offensive lineman Will Putnam (6-4, 301), running back Will Shipley (5-11, 206), defensive end Xavier Thomas (6-2, 253), linebacker Jeremiah Trotter (6-0, 230), and cornerback Nate Wiggins (6-1, 182).
