The 2023 NFL draft has the potential to be a massive one for Clemson football, with a deep pool of great players in position to declare. Of all the players the Tigers may have in that pool of talent, senior defensive tackle Tyler Davis is the player with the widest possibility of outcomes.
After a breakout freshman season back in 2019, Davis looked like a sure thing to be a first-round selection when he could become eligible to declare for the NFL draft. The last two seasons however have been difficult for the defensive tackle as he missed a lot of time due to injury.
Dealing with the injury problems, had he declared this season, Davis likely could have seen his draft stock suffer due to uncertainty around his capability of staying healthy.
Returning to Clemson for a final season, Tyler Davis is betting on himself as a big year with the Tigers could elevate his draft stock resolidifying himself as a first-round pick.
According to NFL Mock Draft Database, Davis is currently their 117th ranked player on their 2023 NFL draft consensus big board though this doesn’t tell the whole story. They, too, see a path for Davis to improve his draft capital this season, giving him a peak rank of eleven.
If he can show NFL scouts that he can stay healthy, the sky is the limit for the guy. One more year at Clemson could prove to do wonders for Tyler Davis.
