PLAYER ANALYSIS
Four-year starter and team captain who got a late start in the sport, but has made up ground quickly. Clemons plays with hip tightness that limits fluidity and transition quickness in coverage. What he lacks in fluidity, he makes up for with pattern matching and ball skills. He has the versatility for man coverage as a big nickel, run support as a down safety and two-high safety duties if he can develop his recognition and instincts a bit. He's not there yet, but it's also unlikely that he's a finished product. There are some physical limitations present, but with additional work, Clemons could find a roster spot.
