Notes:
A two-year starter and team captain for the Tigers --- Named 1st Team All-ACC in 2011 --- Could project to either defensive end in a 4-3 or outside linebacker in a 3-4 --- Never missed a game in college --- The next in a long line of Clemson pass rushers, following in the footsteps of guys like Trevor Pryce, Gaines Adams, Phillip Merling, Ricky Sapp and Da'Quan Bowers --- Came through with breakout senior campaign and best football may still be ahead --- Not a finished product but has all of the tools to develop into one of the best edge rushers from this class.
