Hyatt surprised he was not drafted

It is hard to imagine a four-year starter on a team that played on four College Football Playoff teams and two national championship squads and was a two-time All-American did not get drafted by a single NFL team in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Mitch Hyatt can imagine it.

Clemson’s All-American left tackle, who was considered a sure thing in the 2019 NFL Draft by draft experts when he decided to return to Clemson last year for his senior year, was not taken in this weekend’s draft.

This time last year the 6-foot-5, 305-pound tackle was said to be a first-round pick.
