Kendall Joseph-Clemson

Clemson linebacker Kendall Joseph returns for his junior season as the teams leading returning tackler. He finished the 2016 season with 108 tackles with 12. 5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks on the season.

Joseph had a heck of a game against FSU football in 2016, leading Clemson with seven tackles, a sack and QB hurry.

Joseph benefits from Clemson’s stout defensive line creating gaps to shoot through as evident in the highlight. In fact, you can see him doing exactly that as he lays the boom on Deondre Francois a couple of times.

Joseph will likely be a selected in the NFL Draft if he decides to come out after his junior year. He’s relentless and has a good nose for the football.
