A former Clemson star is showing what he can do as he looks to make the leap to the NFL level.

According to multiple draft writers/analysts, former Tiger edge rusher Xavier Thomas has been a standout during East-West Shrine Bowl practices leading up to Thursday’s game while displaying his strength, explosion and quickness:

Last play of practice for the East team. Watch @ClemsonFB ED Xavier Thomas (3). The first step, the long arm, the rip. He forced this INT.
