A school-record nine Clemson players were invited to this year’s NFL Scouting Combine, breaking the mark of eight set last year. The Tigers are tied for fourth in the nation in terms of total players invited to the 2017 combine. Clemson and Virginia Tech are the only schools in the nation to have a quarterback, running back, receiver and tight end invited to the combine.
