COLUMBIA, SC – NOVEMBER 25: Tee Higgins /

9. Mature Skill Position Players

Fortunately for Kelly Bryant, he will have more help this season.

With wide receivers like Tee Higgins, Amari Rodgers, Hunter Renfrow and a ton of talented guys behind them, Bryant—or Lawrence for that matter- should have more options than that of last season.

It’s not just a talent thing either.

For a team to beat Alabama, they need mature, physical skill position players. Clemson had that in 2016 with guys like Mike Williams, Artavis Scott and Jordan Leggett. This year, I think the Tigers have that aspect back in their offense.
