Multiple Tigers Could Hear Names Called Early In 2021 Draft

In the Dabo Swinney era, Clemson has been pumping players into the NFL. Currently, there are more than forty former Tigers on NFL rosters.

Back in April, seven former Clemson players heard their names called in this years NFL Draft, with two coming in the first round.

Next April, there are a number of Tigers who could potentially hear their names called early on in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Justin Fields 5/1
D'Eriq King 20/1
Kenneth Gainwell 25/1

Not surprisingly, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is favored to go number one overall. What may surprise some however, is the fact that Oregon offensive lineman Penei Sewell comes in with the second best odds, and not Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.

Lawrence isn't the only Tiger getting odds to go number one overall. Offensive lineman Jackson Carman is given 30/1 odds, while running back Travis Etienne is given 40/1 odds.

One of the Tigers wide receivers is also getting odds to be the first player taken at his position. LSU's Ja'Marr Chase is the favorite to be the first receiver taken with 5/4 odds, with Alabama's DeVonta Smith getting the second best odds at 5/1.

Justyn Ross is getting the third best odds at 5/1. However, the fact that he won't play in 2020 will likely impact that number going forward.
