Moreover, Sean Clifford is entering the NFL with a bit of a chip on his shoulders, as he believes he was “snubbed” from the NFL Scouting Combine during the NFL Draft process. However, it thankfully didn’t impede his ability to get drafted, as Green Bay must’ve liked what they saw with the former Big Ten star.
“I feel like I was snubbed with the Combine for sure,” Clifford said. “The body of work that I’ve had with these teams here; when I didn’t see my name as a Combine guy, I felt disrespected for sure. But, hey, it’s just more fuel to the fire.”
During his Penn State career, Clifford finished with 10,661 yards, 86 touchdowns, 31 interceptions and a 61.4% completion percentage. He added 1,073 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.
As a member of the Class of 2017, Clifford was a four-star recruit out of Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 4 overall prospect in the state, the No. 12 quarterback in the class and the No. 183 overall prospect in the class.
