Former Clemson defensive tackle
Dexter Lawrence was selected No. 17 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday night.
The three first-round selections with No. 4 overall pick Clelin Ferrell, No. 13 overall pick Christian Wilkins, and No. 17 overall pick Dexter Lawrence is a school record for first rounders in one NFL draft. It's only the second time since the AFL-NFL merger that three from one position group were selected in the first round (2006 NC State DL the other). Check out some of the instant reactions on Twitter: Members of the Armed Forces announce the selection of Dexter Lawrence with the 17th pick in the #NFLDraft! ???? pic.twitter.com/X4yesNfdY7 BIG DEX!!!! #ClemsonNFL #DLU Big Dex!!!!!

Gives Clemson three first rounders for first time. Clemson joins NC State (2006) as only school with three DL to be taken in first round. Hey Dex. pic.twitter.com/7E4tJfBJn8 Mood pic.twitter.com/M3NTldMXAP Dexter Lawrence is really good, but also projected to go late in the first round. So Gettleman uses the 6th overall pick, Odell Beckham Jr, and $20 mil to get a projected late 1st rounder and late 1st/early 2nd rounder. Boy, that’s some GMing. #NFLDraft Welcome to Big Blue, Dexter Lawrence??#GiantsDraft | #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/2u60No5JVA So the first player the Giants get back in the Odell Beckham trade is Dexter Lawrence. History, y'all. Clemson now has three first-round picks in a single draft for the first time ever.
