As the 2025 NFL season kicks off, the Atlantic Coast Conference is flexing its muscle once again at the professional level. The league boasts 379 former student-athletes on NFL rosters (active, IR, PUP, or practice squads), and no school is sending more to Sundays right now than Clemson.
The Tigers placed 32 players across NFL rosters, more than any other ACC program. Miami follows with 30, while Florida State and Stanford each check in with 29. It’s a reminder of just how deep Clemson’s talent pipeline runs — and how much of an imprint Dabo Swinney’s program continues to leave on the game.
