Clemson defensive tackle Grady Jarrett was just selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Getting drafted is a much-needed dose of good news for Jarrett, who reportedly had half of his home burn down last night while he and family members waited to see if he’d be chosen in the second or third rounds.
