#5 Jeremiah Trotter- #155th overall pick (Philadelphia Eagles)
Another Clemson Tiger to Philadelphia, but in this case a defensive player.

#6 Tyler Davis- #196th overall pick (Los Angeles Rams)
A three-time First Team All-ACC and once Third Team All-ACC selection, Davis had plenty of experience under his wings, having played for Clemson since 2019.
