The 2023 NFL draft is approaching faster than people realize as football analysts and fans alike look towards the draft completing/updating their 2023 big boards while running through mock drafts.
The 2022 NFL draft may not have been the best representation of the talent Clemson has to offer, with just two Tigers drafted, but 2023 is shaping up to be different. Led by star defensive end Myles Murphy, the Tigers have three players projected to go in the first round of this year’s draft.
