CBS Sports analyst thinks Clemson has 4 future pro-bowlers on DL


by - Assoc. Editor -

Another day and more media love from the talented and experienced defensive line from Clemson.

CBS Sports' Chip Patterson discusses the veteran squad in the following video.

"I think they have the best defensive line," he said. "They have four future pro-bowlers on that line."

Honestly to put that kind of lofty NFL expectations and pressure on kids that have yet to even play their senior season of college is pretty terrible. Just let the guys have fun playing football and let's not anoint them yet to Canton, OH. However, if any group of defenders had a chance to make a huge splash in the NFL, this is the group that could possibly do it.

Projections and hype are one thing, getting it done in the season is a whole other ballgame.
