The Clemson Tigers had eight players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft. The list was led by defensive linemen Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy.

The two elite defenders should be higher selections in the draft come April. Both should go within the first two rounds of the draft, based on projections.

While it was a down year on-the-field by Clemson standards, the school produced some NFL talent.

Now, it’s up to the players themselves to stand out during the combine prior to the draft.
