Clemson Football: Where are Tigers in the NFC for 2023?

As with all NFL players, the alumni of Clemson Football sometimes stay put over an offseason, and other times they are on the move.

Here is a quick primer to catch up on all the movement to date for NFC teams.

The Atlanta Falcons have the most Tigers in the NFC with four players. Their roster features A.J. Terrell, Grady Jarrett, Albert Huggins, and Bradley Pinion. Terrell is beginning his fourth season after being drafted by Atlanta. Jarrett is beginning his ninth season anchoring the Falcon’s defensive line. Huggins joins him this season as a free agent. Pinion is starting his second season punting for the Falcons after time in San Francisco and Tampa Bay.

The Philadelphia Eagles have K’Von Wallace, Mario Goodrich, and Joseph Ngata. Wallace is beginning his fourth season for the defending NFC champions. Goodrich was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He will be trying to make the regular roster after spending a season on the Eagles’ practice squad. Ngata signed as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and will also be attempting to make the roster.

The San Francisco 49ers have Clelin Ferrell, Ray-Ray McCloud, and Austin Bryant. Ferrell became a free agent when Las Vegas elected to not pick up his fifth-year option. McCloud has carved a niche for himself as a kick returner in the league and will be in his second season with the 49ers. Bryant signed a free-agent contract with the 49ers after four seasons in Detroit.

The Arizona Cardinals have Carlos Watkins and Isaiah Simmons. Watkins joins the Cardinals after two seasons with the Cowboys. Simmons is beginning his fourth season with Arizona.

The Los Angeles Rams have Tremayne Anchrum and 2023 draft pick Davis Allen. Anchrum was drafted by the Rams in 2020 and is beginning his fourth season with the team. Allen was drafted by the Rams this past spring.
