As Clemson’s top connection and liaison to the NFL, Woody McCorvey enjoys a good relationship with teams around the league. But there is no denying that McCorvey and the entire Clemson program is building a special bond with the Silver and Black.
“We’ve really enjoyed getting to know the Raiders and seeing so many of our young men go out to that organization,” McCorvey said in a phone interview on Tuesday. “We’re really happy the Raiders have given our players this opportunity.”
The Raiders are rapidly becoming Clemson West. In last month’s draft, they took linebacker/special teamer Tanner Muse in the third round and then the next morning, they traded up to take Tigers’ guard John Simpson.
