by - Assoc. Editor -

Clemson defensive tackle Grady Jarrett was named to CBSSports.com's All Better-Than Team which consists of players that are undervalued leading up to the 2015 NFL Draft.

"There are a lot of defensive tackles getting first-round mentions, but Jarrett isn't one of them, " CBSports.com's Pete Prisco writes. "I am not sure that is right. He doesn't have the size, but this is a kid who has the tools to be an 8-10 sack player in the right scheme on the next level as well as a good player against the run."

The senior columnist went on to say that he might put Jarrett with a first-round draft grade.

just might be worth a first-round pick. Learn his name. He's damn good."

Jarrett had a career high three and a half tackles for loss and a forced fumble in the 40-6 rout of Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl. He also was voted as one of the football team's permanent captains for 2014.
