5. Clelin Ferrell

While I believe Clemson could probably still win without some of its starting defensive linemen- especially with a guy like Xavier Thomas backing up Ferrell- you have to give respect to what Clelin Ferrell does to an opposing offense.

Ferrell has been absolutely dominant all season long.

He’s been consistently in opponent’s backfields and we’ve seen him beat some of the best offensive tackles in the conference.

For the Tigers to win a National Championship, they are going to need more effort like that from Clelin Ferrell.
