21. Shaq Lawson, (OLB) Clemson

Shaq Lawson is a 6’3″269 lbs. defensive end/ outside linebacker prospect. He is fast off the edge. He ran a 4.7 second 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine. He is very good against the run and has some pass rushing ability. In three seasons at Clemson he has had 20 sacks. 12.5 of those sacks were in the 2015 season.

Lawson is a good overall player. He can do a bit of everything on the outside of your defense. His best ability is to set the edge against the rushing attack. Lawson is somebody to watch in this draft class. He may or may not be a Ravens pick but you don’t want him as an AFC North opponent.

Lawson has shown to be a tough and durable player at Clemson. He is a star in the making potentially.
