1. LB Isaiah Simmons

Isaiah Simmons hasn’t officially declared for the NFL Draft at the time of this writing, but he is going to and there’s no reason he shouldn’t.

Simmons was the most versatile defensive player in the nation this season and he’s a consensus top-10 pick in this coming year’s NFL Draft.

Simmons will test well at the NFL Combine and during Pro Day, and could very well move up into the top-5 before it’s all said and done.

He proved to be one of the best to ever play the position for Clemson football and that’s a credit to the combination of his freakish athleticism and physicality.

Prediction: Turns Pro

Chance of Return: 0 percent

Next. Offensive play-calling was a major issue vs. LSU. dark

Maybe one of these four juniors surprise Clemson football nation- as Christian Wilkins did a couple of years ago- but that doesn’t appear to be the case as we head down the stretch. Tiger fans should appreciate what each one of these guys meant to the program and what they contributed during their respective careers.
