PHILADELPHIA, PA — Jeremiah Trotter Jr., dressed in a sharp blue suit and Clemson orange flower on his left lapel, sat there last Friday night on a bean bag in the basement of his father’s South Jersey home looking casually looking down at his cell phone. The names of the second and third rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft were being called, and the 6-foot, 230-pound two-year starting inside linebacker at Clemson was hoping he would be among them. His father, beloved former Eagles’ linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Sr., was making the point to his guests that it does not matter where you are picked in the draft, as long as you are selected.
