A new mock draft from this national outlet has three Clemson players as first-round picks in next spring’s NFL Draft – and two of those teaming up with various former Tigers in the league.
Pro Football Focus (PFF) released a new 2026 NFL mock draft, which projects Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods to be taken by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 10th overall pick.
The Bengals currently have three Clemson pros on their roster – linebacker Barrett Carter, defensive end Myles Murphy and wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Woods was teammates at Clemson with Carter, who was selected by the Bengals in the fourth round (119th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft.
