NFL Analyst Breaks Down What He Loves About Clemson Prospect
By: Staff Report April 26, 2024

The “contagious” effort constantly displayed by one particular Clemson draft prospect stands out to this former NFL player and current analyst.

NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger broke down film of Jeremiah Trotter Jr. via social media this week ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Baldinger loves Trotter’s relentlessness on the field when getting after opposing offensive players, and says the former Clemson linebacker will earn a spot on everybody’s “All Effort Team.”

“One way or the other, he’s gonna get the job done. … All effort, all the time. Like, who doesn’t want to be part of the ‘All Effort Team’? That’s Trot,” said Baldinger, a former offensive lineman who had a 13-year NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles.

A multi-time All-America linebacker and the son of former four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Sr., Trotter Jr. finished his Clemson career (2021-23) with 202 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, 13 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and four interceptions (including two returned for touchdowns).
