Clemson football: Tigers most likely to leave early for the NFL
By John Chancey
4. Tyler Davis – Defensive Tackle, SR
- 95 tackles
- 16.5 tackles for loss
- 10.0 sacks
- 3 pass breakups
- 2 fumble recoveries
There was a lot of speculation that Davis could leave early for the NFL after the 2021 season. The deadline came and went without an announcement either way from Davis.
Today is the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2022 NFL Draft.

A few notable underclassmen who have yet to make an "official" announcement: #Alabama LB Christian Harris#Clemson DT Tyler Davis#Georgia LB Nolan Smith#OleMiss OT Nick Broeker#Tulsa OT Tyler Smith
Soon after, he was photographed with some of his teammates getting ready for classes, confirming he was returning for 2022. We aren’t sure how much thought he put into leaving early. There are differing opinions on Davis’s potential in the NFL, but there is one thing all the analysts agree on: he needs to stay healthy. If he can play a full year and repeat the production of his freshman season, he will be highly sought after.
