The 2024 NFL draft has come and gone, with six Clemson players selected.
This year, we saw six former Tigers hear their names called and have had their NFL dreams come true. Nate Wiggins, Ruke Orhorhoro, Will Shipley, Xavier Thomas, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and Tyler Davis are all taking the next step, with multiple landing in some fantastic situations.

The Falcons had an interesting draft, but I’ve got a good feeling this pick will work out well for them.
Position: RB
Round and Pick: Fourth, No. 127 overall
I’m a huge fan of a lot of the landing spots I saw for Clemson players, and Shipley’s is no exception. I do believe Shipley is capable of being…
