Clemson Football: 5 Juniors who’ll declare early for the 2020 NFL Draft

The Clemson football program could see several upperclassmen leave early for the NFL Draft. Here’s a look at 5 juniors who are expected to declare.

The Clemson football program will make its fifth-straight CFB Playoff appearance in just a few weeks when the Tigers take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Playstation Fiesta Bowl.

The winner of the matchup will advance to the National Championship game to play the winner of LSU-Oklahoma in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

The Tigers are in position to compete for a second-straight National Championship and potentially win their third in the last four seasons.

Outside of the team goals, though, there are several upperclassmen who are just a few weeks away from beginning their professional careers.

With the success that Clemson football has had, there’s no surprise that there are several juniors who will consider leaving early for the NFL rather than returning to school for their final year of eligibility. Honestly, it’s the nature of College Football. Players come to play in college with the goal of moving onto the next level. Because of that, we see guys leave early and forego a final year, or in some cases two years, to see their dream come to fruition.

As we head down the stretch, here’s a look at 5 Tigers who will most likely be declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft.
