1. Isaiah Simmons (RS Junior)
In terms of Clemson football players being honored on Saturday, we all know who the prime-time NFL Draft prospect is of the group.
Isaiah Simmons hasn’t just proven that he has the skill to play at the next level this season, he has proven to be one of the top-two best defensive players in the country.
His versatility is off the charts. Simmons is freakishly athletic, but also possesses great power and physicality.
As of now, Simmons is projected to be a top-15 draft pick and that number will likely rise once we get to the NFL combine. Simmons can run just as fast as any running back in the country, but also has the strength and power to match any linebacker.
That amount of versatility, skill, explosiveness and athleticism will vault him into the top-10 and he very well could end up being a top-5 pick before it’s all said and done.
