Underwear Olympics: How Tristan Leigh can boost draft value at combine
The NFL combine is in just a couple of weeks, and nine Clemson Tigers are looking to increase their draft stock. In this series, we’re going to dive into each player and break down exactly what they’ll need to do in Indy to separate themselves and solidify their draft value.
Tristan Leigh is an athletic 6’6, 310-pound offensive tackle with only 11 starts to his name. He’s one of the shiftier tackles in this class, but many concerns about his experience and weight have him as a late-day 2 prospect.

How He Could Rise
Putting on weight. Leigh is currently in the 35th percentile in weight, which is risky for an offensive tackle. If he can put on a solid ten-fifteen pounds and keep most of his agility, he can rise the draft boards considerably. Additionally, impressive athletic testing and a strong RAS score could boost his stock.
How He Could Fall
Not understanding blocking schemes to an NFL-ready level. Leigh looked out of place quite often in his time at Clemson, and while you could point to a lack of experience, a lack of understanding could be the culprit as well. Leigh needs to show a strong sense of the game to be selected in this year’s NFL draft.
