CLEMSON, SC – OCTOBER 03: Cordrea Tankersley /

29. Cordrea Tankersley

Next on our list is DB Cordrea Tankersley.

Tankersley was a key part of the National Championship in 2016. He is now a cornerback for the Miami Dolphins.

He did a great job during his time in Tiger Town locking in and taking on each opposing offense’s best wide receiver.

Sometimes he got beat, but most of the time he was the guy that won the battle. He’s certainly one of the most talented defensive backs to play under Dabo Swinney and should be recognized for being able to be an intricate part of that Natty team.

He was named to the first-team All-ACC team and was named a third-team All-American.
