When Corey Clement and TJ Edwards are both old and gray, they’ll tell their NFL stories to their grandchildren, but both of them will have to tell that story without one aspect. Both attended Wisconsin University and played for the Badgers. Both wound up with the Philadelphia Eagles. There’s just one thing.
Neither Clement or Edwards heard their name called on draft day.
After 42 games played at the collegiate level, Clement entered the 2017 NFL Draft with hopes that he’d be selected. After all, he had just racked up 3,092 career rushing yards, 279 yards through the air, 36 career rushing touchdowns, and two receiving touchdowns.
