Cade Klubnik, the standout quarterback from Clemson, is projected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft by ESPN analyst Jordan Reid. The Cleveland Browns, who have struggled at the quarterback position since trading for Deshaun Watson, may look to Klubnik as a long-term solution. After a stellar season in 2024 with over 3,600 passing yards and impressive decision-making, there's growing excitement around his potential.

Reid also noted Clemson's defensive talents, with Peter Woods and T.J. Parker expected to be top 10 picks. Woods brings a powerful presence at 6'3'' and 315 pounds, while Parker’s versatility in pass rush makes him a coveted prospect. Avieon Terrell is another name to watch as he could sneak into the end of the first round.
