As 49ers.com runs down the list of top prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft, we continue our “Meet the Prospect” series with Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson.
The Basics
Clemson is on a nice run of producing quality defensive linemen. Last year, it was Vic Beasley, who went eighth overall to the Atlanta Falcons. Now, it’s Lawson’s turn to own the spotlight. Lason had monster numbers as a junior in 2015. He led the nation with 24.5 tackles for loss and recorded 12.5 sacks. Lawson helped lead Clemson to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
