Vikings Draft 2020: Playoff prospects to watch – Clemson
By Luke Parrish
When the Clemson Tigers take the field in the College Football Playoff in a few weeks, which prospects should the Minnesota Vikings be watching?
The College Football Playoff provides plenty of NFL talent across four of the nation’s best teams. Before the biggest games of the current college football season kick-off, we will preview each of the four rosters.
All four programs have players that very well could play for the Minnesota Vikings next year. After looking at Ohio State first, it is time to shift towards the Clemson Tigers. Clemson and Ohio State will face each other in the semifinal round of the College Football Playoff on December 28th.
This year, Clemson had an undefeated regular season and won the ACC Championship. In the CFP semifinal, they meet one of the hottest teams in the country in what many believe will be their first true test of the season.
Still, a perfect season is not an easy accomplishment. The Tigers turn over their roster each and every year as their top stars move on to the NFL. This year’s roster hasn’t received as much national attention, but it’s still incredibly talented. Both sides of the ball feature future NFL stars and plenty of first-round draft picks.
Clemson has an exciting offense and a dominant defense. They will have a tough task when they meet the Buckeyes, but they have the experience to handle it. Let’s take a look at the Tigers’ roster and which guys could be playing on Sundays in Minnesota next season.
