A trio of former Clemson players have been recognized as a few of the top interior defenders in the NFL.
Pro Football Focus recently published its rankings of the top 32 defensive tackles in the NFL entering the 2021 season, and three Tigers made the list in Grady Jarrett of the Atlanta Falcons, Dexter Lawrence of the New York Giants and D.J. Reader of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Jarrett leads the way as the No. 4 interior defender in the NFL per PFF, while Lawrence checks in at No. 16, followed by Reader at No. 21.
