Clemson football: Five former Tigers that have outplayed their original draft spot

Only Alabama and Nick Saban have had more than Clemson football and Coach Swinney during that same time frame. While Clemson has had several players flame out and not live up to their draft spot, what about those that have played beyond the round or overall number that they were selected at?

While the Tigers don’t have a Tom Brady type over the last decade (Brady was selected 199th overall), they do have several players that have played well beyond where they were drafted.

Four of these players are active and currently producing at an elite level, even by NFL standards.
