Clemson OL Isaiah Battle, eligible for Thursday supplemental draft, has 26 NFL clubs on hand for his Pro Day today, per school official.

While it is unlikely a team uses a top 3 round pick on him, a team could be very willing to use a late round pick.  Battle started 11 games at left tackle last year for the Tigers.  While his on field abilities are solid, his off-field character concerns could make him fall. 

The offensive line coach from the Buffalo Bills, was on hand Tuesday for the pro day workout of Clemson offensive tackle Isaiah Battle. 

 

I have been told by many he has problems with marijuana use.  If a team can overlook that, he could be selected high, especially considering he would be a day 1 or 2 pick if he was to stay in school. 

Update:

Battle (6-foot-6 1/8, 312 pounds) went through a workout that was held indoors and run on FieldTurf.

Battle ran the 40-yard dash in 5.29 and 5.21 seconds. He had a 24 1/2-inch vertical jump and an 8-foot-5 broad jump. He performed 12 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, but had this exercise cut short because of a cramp in his arm.

Battle has an 85 1/4-inch wing span and 35 3/8-inch arms.
