Following the 2026 NFL Draft, multiple undrafted Clemson players have received NFL minicamp invites.

Offensive lineman Ryan Linthicum earned a minicamp invite from the Buffalo Bills, while fellow offensive lineman Walker Parks picked up minicamp invites from the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins.

Meanwhile, defensive end Zaire Patterson garnered a minicamp invite from the Minnesota Vikings.

Linthicum was a breakout contributor in 2024 who started every Clemson game (27 consecutive contests) at center over his final two seasons. The 6-foot-3, 305-pounder played 1,970 offensive snaps over 36 career games from 2021-25, and played the most snaps of any Clemson player across the 2024-25 campaigns (1,867). Linthicum was ranked by Rivals as the top center in the nation and a top-120 overall prospect in the 2021 recruiting class.

Parks, a hard-nosed offensive leader, battled through a slew of injuries to play 3,078 career snaps over 62 games (47 starts) from 2020-25. He exited Clemson as one of eight players on record in school history to record 3,000 career snaps from scrimmage, and despite losing two years to injury, last season he became the 11th player in school history to appear in 60 career games.

A 2024 All-ACC selection, three-time All-ACC Academic Team selection and three-time ACC champion, Parks was an ESPN Freshman All-American as a reserve in 2020 who earned the starting right tackle role entering his sophomore year in 2021 and then transitioned to guard during fall camp in 2022. The 6-foot-5, 310-pounder joined James Skalski to become the second six-year letterman in the Clemson football program’s history.

Patterson was credited with three tackles and a fumble recovery in 54 defensive snaps over 11 career games from 2021-25. After redshirting in 2021 and not seeing any game action the next year, he was credited with two tackles and a fumble recovery in 14 defensive snaps over two games in 2023, added one tackle in 26 defensive snaps over five games in 2024, and then finished his Clemson career with 13 defensive snaps across three games last season. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder was a national top-100 prospect in the 2021 recruiting class according to 247Sports.

Other undrafted Tigers who are getting their NFL shots include defensive end Cade Denhoff (undrafted free agent deal with the Bills), long snapper Philip Florenzo (UDFA deal with the Atlanta Falcons), offensive lineman Tristan Leigh (UDFA deal with the Vikings) and cornerback Jeadyn Lukus (UDFA deal with the Tennessee Titans).
