Five biggest 2021 NFL Draft debates for Clemson football players

Clemson football fans will have their eyes on the 2021 NFL Draft when it comes time for the event to take place so they can see where several former Tigers end up.

Even though we’ve still got over a month until the even takes place, there’s already been plenty of discussion about many prospects and that will only heat up as we get closer to time.

Here’s a look at the five biggest 2021 NFL Draft debates pertaining to former Clemson football players.

5. How far up the ladder can Amari Rodgers climb?

Amari Rodgers is slowly trending up draft boards as we get closer to time. He did 24 reps on the bench press and then dedicated it to Kobe Bryant.

Rodgers shows elite speed and athleticism along with great physicality and a perfect blend of strength.

Rivals’ Mike Farrell said he loved Rodgers because he is ‘built like a running back with speed like a wide receiver.’

Farrell has Rodgers going in the second-round, but there are many analysts who don’t have Rodgers until the third or even fourth round. The debate to be had here is simple: How far can he trend upwards? Could Rodgers solidify himself as a second-round pick? It’s certainly a possibility.
