LSU vs. Clemson: 2020 NFL Draft prospects to watch

8. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

Wide Receiver Rank: 6, Overall Rank: 35

Justin Jefferson had a coming-out party in the semifinal game against Oklahoma. His four touchdowns in the first half were so fun to watch. Jefferson has been one of the most underappreciated wide receiver prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft class for some time now and finally, people are getting on board.

All eyes will be on Jefferson to see if he can have the impact against Clemson that he did against the Sooners’ defense. If he can ride the momentum with another big game in this atmosphere, he will see himself fly up on people’s big-boards and will make his case for being a top receiving prospect in this impressive class.

9. AJ Terrell, CB, Clemson

Cornerback Rank: 6, Overall Rank: 48

Clemson cornerback, AJ Terrell, is going to start seeing more eyes in this matchup. Obviously the challenge the LSU wide receivers bring is a big reason for that. His fluid athleticism and press-man coverage skills will be put to the test against some of the nation’s best receivers.

This cornerback class is quickly becoming weaker with underclassmen, Shaun Wade and Paulson Adebo, deciding to return to school for another year. This game is the perfect opportunity to remind evaluators that he deserves to be in the conversation for a top selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.

10. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU

Running Back Rank: 8, Overall Rank: 68

LSU running back, Clyde Edwards-Helaire was a limited option in the semifinal game against Oklahoma. Ed Orgeron said during a press conference on Saturday that Edwards-Helaire is 100 percent, per Barrett Sallee.

Edwards-Helaire plays a huge role for the Tigers and should provide a spark in the running game that Joe Brady and the offense can build from. Edwards-Helaire has burst on to the scene this year and become one of the most notable running back prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft class. Another impressive outing for the LSU running back could be huge for his draft stock.

There you have it. That is ten prospects to keep your eye on for this big matchup. There are so many notable 2020 NFL Draft prospects playing in Monday night’s National Championship Game that we simply could not fit them all in.

Other notable 2020 NFL Draft prospects in this game include; Rashard Lawerence, IDL, LSU, K’Von Wallace, S, Clemson, Llyod Cushenberry III, IOL, LSU, Jacob Phillips, LB, LSU, and Patrick Queen, LB, LSU.
