Clemson’s B.J. Goodson was picked No. 109 overall by the New York Giants in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft on Saturday.
Goodson is the fifth Clemson player taken in the draft, all on the defensive side of the ball. On Thursday, defensive end Shaq Lawson went No. 19 overall to Buffalo. In the second round three former Tigers were taken off the board, including defensive end Kevin Dodd at No. 33 by Tennessee, cornerback Mackensie Alexander at No. 52 by the Minnesota Vikings and safety T.J. Green at No. 57 by the Indianapolis Colts.
Here is what they are saying about the Tigers’ former linebacker.
