3. Cornell Powell‘s emerging stardom

How about Cornell Powell?

Swinney warned about how talented Powell was and how he had been a star in practice leading up to the season for the Tigers, but no one actually penciled him in as a legitimate receiving threat.

To this point, Powell has 31 catches for 418 yards and three touchdowns- which is good enough for third on the team in receiving yards, just behind Amari Rodgers and Travis Etienne.

Powell has made important catches that have moved the sticks and has been as consistent as any receiver, especially over the past couple of weeks when he has really emerged.
