16. Mackensie Alexander

Mackensie Alexander is the most talented cornerback to play under Dabo Swinney thus far, in my opinion.

Alexander was able to be every single opposing wide receiver on an island and shut them down.

He played against some very talented receivers in his time and won battles time and time again. Because of that, Alexander was named a second-team All-American in 2015.

He was also named a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award.

Unfortunately, Alexander only played two seasons- 2014 and 2015- with Clemson due to a groin injury he suffered as a freshman in 2013.

Alexander was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2016 and has played a bunch of quality snaps since arriving.
