Draft Profile: Bio
Payton Page from Dudley High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Page joined Clemson after being heavily recruited.

In 2021 as a freshman Page saw action in 11 games and played a total of 75 snaps for the Tigers. He recorded only 3 tackles, 3 assists, while adding 2 stops.

As a sophomore for the Tigers in 2022 Page played in 13 games and took part in 189 snaps for the Tigers. He recorded 10 tackles, 4 assists, while adding 7 stops. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 6 total pressures, and 5 QB hurries, one QB hit, and no sacks during the year.

In 2023 as a junior Page played in 12 games and contributed on 215 snaps. He recorded only 6 tackles, no assists while making 4 stops. As a pass rusher, he produced 14 total pressures, which included 12 QB hurries, one QB hit, and one sack on the year.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • A technician with a high motor, Page has a variety of moves and displays exceptionally good hand use. Page shows a strong finishing burst and has the power to hold at the point of attack as a run defender.
  • Flashes quick hands to slap away blocks, but too oft~n gets caught in the hand-fighting at the line rather than quickly disengaging.
  • Flashes exciting burst off the snap to penetrate. Can slip through gaps with his get-off and is an intimidating force for quarterbacks to avoid.
  • A high-motor pass rusher with good quickness, Page has a compact but wide frame and long arms.
  • Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
  • He’s ready for the physicality of the NFL; he has a stout build, strong core and powerful limbs to step in right away as a three-down player.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Page is a bit underpowered, often playing too high and struggling to hold the point of attack against double teams.
  • Possesses excellent weight-room strength, although it doesn't always translate onto his play.
  • Doesn't play fundamentally sound and lacks much technique in his repertoire.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
