4. Derion Kendrick

Derion Kendrick is going to make an impact, potentially in all three phases of the game this season. Currently, Kendrick is considered the starter at cornerback and he could potentially move back full-time on offense and start at wide receiver.

Kendrick will likely be called upon to be a kick returner for the Tigers, as well.

His athleticism and versatility are going to be great assets for Clemson football this season. Expect to see a lot of No. 1 as he makes an impact in several different facets.
