Miller has become popular among draft projections as multiple NFL teams need offensive linemen.
He fits the bill at 6-foot-6 and 318 pounds. Miller started in every game of his Clemson career, setting the school record for career snaps at 3,778. He worked primarily at tackle in college.
Parker recorded 37 tackles, including five sacks, three fumble recoveries and one pass breakup in 2025. His production dipped compared to 2024 when he had 11 sacks and had a Clemson record six forced fumbles.
Still, he had an impressive performance at the Senior Bowl, showcasing his speed and power that helped him improve his pre-draft standing.
Terrell, the younger brother of former Clemson cornerback AJ Terrell, recorded 48 tackles, including three sacks, five forced fumbles and nine pass deflections in 2025. He was first-team All-ACC and a Jim Thorpe award semifinalist, which is given to the nation's top defensive back.
The 5-11 cornerback's size is a concern, and he has been limited with a hamstring injury in the pre-draft process, which cut his private workout with teams short on March 30. Still, his speed and coverage versatility makes him an early round selection.

Woods logged a career-high 30 tackles, including two sacks, and one pass deflection in 2025 to earn first-team All-ACC honors. Entering the season, he was a projected top-10 selection because of his power and awareness, but consistency issues caused him to drop in projections.
Klubnik was a Heisman Trophy candidate entering the 2025 season and projected first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft because of his sensational junior season. He threw for 3,639 yards (10th in the nation) with 36 touchdowns (third) and six interceptions and rushed for 463 yards and seven scores.
Yet, he regressed in 2025, throwing for 2,943 yards, 16 touchdowns, six interceptions and rushing for 94 yards and four scores. This caused his draft projection to fall drastically.
Antonio Williams recorded 55 catches for 604 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 to be a third-team All-ACC selection. His route routing is among the best in this draft class, which has elevated him to be a projected Day 2 pick.

DeMonte Capehart returned for his sixth season in 2025 to record 21 tackles, including a sack, and two pass deflections. At 23 he is older than other defensive tackles in this draft but could be a rotational impact lineman.
Adam Randall switched from wide receiver to running back in 2025 to rush for 814 yards and 10 scores. He ran his 40-yard dash in 4.50 seconds.
Randall is new to the position but has the versatility to be a pass-catching threat in man coverage against linebackers.
