Another former Clemson defensive lineman has signed a free agent deal in the National Football League.
In January of 2021 Nyles Pinckney transferred away from Clemson after winning two national championships with the Tigers. He transferred to Minnesota.
Pinckney signed a deal with the New Orleans Saints.
Excited and thankful for the opportunity #WhoDat @Saints
