ACC mailblog: 2017 QBs, Atlantic sleepers & Clemson's keys vs. Alabama

Mailbag time. Get 'em while they're hot…

@DavidHaleESPN how do you see the QB position shaking out in the ACC moving forward?

What set the ACC apart this year was the quarterback play, and that position will undergo a major shakeup for 2017. That doesn't mean a major step back for the league necessarily, with Clemson (Zerrick Cooper) and Miami (Jack Allison) featuring top-rated young talent and Pitt (Max Browne) and perhaps North Carolina or Virginia Tech bringing in a transfer. But assuming Mitch Trubisky leaves, the top tier of established talent will be thin, with Deondre Francois and Lamar Jackson leading the way.
