One Clemson offensive weapon may have quietly become one of the biggest risers of the pre-draft process. Senior Adam Randall, who successfully transitioned from wide receiver to running back this past season, has been having an extremely impressive pre-draft showcase, having participated in the NFL Combine two weeks ago and now in Clemson's Pro Day.

Why it matters

Randall's strong performances at the Combine and Pro Day have generated significant buzz around his draft stock, with analysts and scouts highlighting his versatility and potential as a "position-less player" who can contribute in multiple ways on offense.

The details

At the Combine, Randall ranked first among running backs in bench press reps, tied for third in the broad jump, tied for fourth in the vertical jump, tied for fifth in the 10-yard split, and finished eighth in the 40-yard dash. At his Pro Day, he improved his 20-yard shuttle time and recorded a top-tier three-cone drill time. Randall also showcased his receiving skills, lining up out wide and running routes during the throwing session.

What they’re saying

“Leaving Clemson Pro Day. My biggest takeaway? Some team is going to get an absolute steal in RB Adam Randall. He has aced the pre-draft process. Considering he's a converted WR, his upside as a do-it-all weapon and return specialist are immense.”

— Jordan Reid, ESPN Analyst

“I wanted to show the scouts my versatility. Just how I can be used in so many different ways, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Also, I wanted to clean up some of my drill work — 5-10-5 — I wanted to redo that and get a good time on the board.”

— Adam Randall

“And I think I did a good job of showing my versatility out of the backfield and lining up out wide at receiver, you know, where I'm comfortable at. Just letting people know that I'm still comfortable at doing everything on the football field.”

— Adam Randall

What’s next
