Though the 2011 class didn’t have a first round draft pick, it had plenty of fire power.

The Tigers saw a total of six players drafted and five of them developed into starters in the NFL. Jarvis Jenkins, Marcus Gilchrist, Da’Quan Bowers, Chris Hairston and Byron Maxwell all played in the league for quite some time and started games.

Jamie Harper was the lone draft pick from Clemson football in this class that didn’t start a game.
