This ESPN analyst is a fan of one particular Clemson draft pick.
ESPN’s Matt Miller highlighted his 100 favorite selections of the 2025 NFL Draft (subscription required) and named former Clemson safety R.J. Mickens among them.
Mickens was a Day 3 pick of the Los Angeles Chargers, who took him in the sixth round (No. 214 overall pick).
The Chargers’ selection of Mickens was ranked by Miller at No. 95 among the best 100 picks of this year’s draft.
“Mickens was one of the biggest value plays of the draft,” Miller wrote. “He was picked on at times when asked to play deep safety last season, but his impact in the box should get him on the roster as Derwin James Jr.
