Raiders, John Simpson agree to rookie deal

The Las Vegas Raiders have come to an agreement with their fourth-round pick, locking up former Clemson G John Simpson to a four-year deal.

Simpson was selected 109th overall by the Raiders in the 2020 NFL Draft. A four-year player at Clemson, Simpson appeared in 50 games with 29 starts and helped the school capture two National Championships in 2016 and 2018. During his two seasons as a full-time starter, he helped the Tigers post a staggering 29-1 record.

As a senior in 2019, Simpson was named a first-team All-ACC selection and recognized as an Outland Trophy semifinalist, given to the nation’s top interior offensive lineman.
