Will Shipley certainly experienced a special rookie season in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The former Clemson star had an unforgettable performance in the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders on Jan. 26. Then, Shipley’s first professional campaign culminated with him earning a Super Bowl championship ring alongside fellow former Clemson standouts Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and K.J. Henry on Feb. 9, when their Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Shipley quickly went from being a dynamic and versatile playmaker at Clemson, to a fourth-round draft pick last April, to now a Super Bowl champ.

Shipley, Trotter and Henry were featured on the latest episode of Clemson Football’s official podcast, 2 Right Turns. Discussing the transition from college to the NFL, Shipley showed love to Clemson for setting up their players, including himself, to have success at the next level.

“Clemson deserves a huge shout-out just for how prepared they made all of us for the movement from college to NFL,” Shipley said.

“And then also just being so lucky to get picked by an organization such as the Philadelphia Eagles, who I feel like is run very similarly to Clemson,” he added. “We’ve got great leadership, and they just really care about the players in every facet – on the football field, in the lunch room, off the field. They help you out with really anything you need.”

Shipley also shared advice for his former Tiger teammates who are currently making that transition from college football to the league.

“Any advice that I would give to some of the guys going through that process right now, some of my best friends from my years at Clemson would just be to give it all you got,” he said. “Never leave any stone unturned. And just be able to look back and say, ‘I didn’t leave anything on the table.’”

Shipley was selected by the Eagles in the fourth round (No. 127 overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft after a superlative three-year career both athletically and academically at Clemson from 2021-23. In addition to exiting Clemson in the Top 10 in school history in total touchdowns (33), rushing touchdowns (31), 100-yard rushing games (10), all-purpose yards (4,253) and kickoff return yards (904), he is the only known FBS player on record to both produce 4,000 career all-purpose yards while simultaneously graduating with a perfect 4.0 career GPA in only a three-year span.
