Pro Football & Sports Network (PFSN) has released a new, seven-round 2026 NFL mock draft.
PFSN NFL draft analyst Ian Cummings currently projects nine Clemson players to be selected in next year’s draft – but only one in the first round.
His mock draft has defensive tackle Peter Woods as Clemson’s lone first-round pick, going to the Houston Texans with the 14th overall pick.
“Clemson’s 2025 campaign has been one to forget, and the entire team has often appeared demoralized, but Peter Woods still flashes on film,” Cummings wrote. “The 6’3″, 310-pound defender still has the blazing first-step, power component, and flexibility to field early first-round capital, and for Houston, he’s an invaluable interior catalyst.”
Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell is a high second-round pick in PFSN’s mock draft, which projects him to be selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 35th overall pick.
“Miami’s secondary is in shambles, so it makes sense to target Avieon Terrell: A slot-boundary hybrid with a veteran’s instinct for matching and generating turnovers,” Cummings wrote.
Cummings sees Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker coming off the board later in the second round and going to the Indianapolis Colts with the No. 53 overall pick.
“A preseason favorite to earn Round 1 capital, T.J. Parker’s stock has corrected downward,” Cummings wrote. “His middling hip flexibility and length are major detractors for his ultimate upside, but he’s a workmanlike rusher with good burst, energy, mass, and ankle flexion.”
PFSN’s mock draft has the Pittsburgh Steelers picking a pair of Clemson players in offensive tackle Tristan Leigh (third round, No. 79 overall) and wide receiver Antonio Williams (fourth round, No. 112 overall).
“Tristan Leigh is still relatively raw, so he shouldn’t start right away for Pittsburgh — but he has the explosive athleticism, power, hip flexibility, and tenacity to mold,” Cummings wrote.
The mock draft has Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller joining Parker as a draft pick of the Colts (fourth round, No. 118 overall), and Clemson defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart going to the Carolina Panthers in the fifth round with the 160th overall pick.
Clemson running back Adam Randall is projected to be a seventh-round pick of the Tennessee Titans (No. 199 overall).
Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik — once forecasted to be a first-round pick by many draft pundits, and possibly even the No. 1 overall pick — is also projected as a seventh-round pick in PFSN’s mock draft, going to the New York Jets with the No. 220 overall pick.
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
