Multiple former Clemson Tigers ranked among the Top-100 Players in the NFL
Clemson is an NFL factory. One of the most well-represented colleges in the NFL, the Tigers put out elite talent every year. It's hard to turn on a game on Sunday and not see a guy that used to suit up in orange and purple. Just this past spring, Clemson had six players drafted, including two in the first round.
CBS' Pete Prisco recently released his Top-100 Players in the NFL list. The Tigers came just behind Alabama (9) and Ohio State (7) with 6 players on the list. Trevor Lawrence, Dexter Lawrence, Christian Wilkins, Tee Higgins, DJ Reader, and Grady Jarrett all made the cut.

It's a fun group that represents different eras of Clemson football. Reader and Jarrett were outstanding in their time at Clemson, but they were the ones that laid the groundwork for the later teams to come in and win championships. Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins were part of a dominant line that helped the Tigers win two titles, and Tee Higgins and Trevor Lawrence helped lead the most dominant era by a Clemson offense.
One of the best recruiting tools a program can have is the success of the players on Sundays. For Clemson, that spotlight is certainly amongst the biggest.
