WATCH: Trenton Simpson’s best highlights from Clemson
The Baltimore Ravens invested in their linebacker corps in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft by selecting Clemson product Trenton Simpson with the 86th overall pick. Simpson is something of a work in progress heading into his rookie season but should be served well by the presence of Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith as mentors.
Clemson had two defenders taken in the first round before Simpson was taken by the Ravens. Check out the linebacker’s best plays from his time in South Carolina to get more acquainted with his skillset ahead of the team’s next selection:

Awesome value for the Ravens to grab Trenton Simpson this late. Best case scenario for him. Very twitchy athlete who lowers the boom against the run and covers space well. Really good as a spy too. Can also rush the passer as a blitzer: pic.twitter.com/8P774cdY24
