5. Amari Rodgers

Amari Rodgers is a guy that has been a very explosive player in his two years with Clemson football.

Rodgers had a solid sophomore campaign as a starter, reeling in 55 receptions for 575 yards and four touchdowns.

It will be extremely important for him to step up in 2019. Despite the fact that he doesn’t play the same position as what Hunter Renfrow did, I think Rodgers is going to get a lot of the targets that Renfrow received last season.

That means he is going to be expected to find a way to get open on 3rd down and intermediate, and he’s going to get a lot of those medium-to-short reception opportunities.
