Clemson’s Former Linebacker with NFL-Bred Pedigree
Anthony Waters was a hard-hitting Clemson linebacker who turned that profile into a third-round NFL draft selection in 2007, giving him real credibility as a physical, instinctive defender. ESPN lists him as a linebacker from Clemson, drafted 96th overall by San Diego, and historical bios note his college-to-pro path from Dillon, South Carolina. Because the available sources are archival rather than current-season reports, he is best understood as a former Clemson standout whose value came from toughness, tackling presence, and pro-level pedigree more than flashy counting stats.
