ESPN NFL Draft analysts Matt Miller and Jordan Reid went through every position in the 2026 draft class and gave their personal top-five rankings at each position.
Five Clemson stars – quarterback Cade Klubnik, wide receiver Antonio Williams, defensive end T.J. Parker, defensive tackle Peter Woods and cornerback Avieon Terrell – stand highly at their respective positions in the early rankings from Miller and Reid.
Both Miller and Reid have Klubnik as the No. 1 quarterback in next year’s draft class, with Miller ranking Klubnik ahead of LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, and Reid ranking Klubnik ahead of South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers.
