Questions remain at cornerback

There is no doubt Mackensie Alexander is one of the best corners in the ACC and some might argue in the country.

The Clemson cornerback physically and mentally intimidated his competitors last season, especially Oklahoma’s Sterling Sheppard. The Sooner’s wide receiver averaged 19 yards per catch in 2014, but had just one reception for 13 yards against Alexander in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

“I don’t care what ESPN says about you or what the draft people say about you, when you step on the field against me, it is a one-on-one match up and I’m going to always win that match up,” Alexander said after the game.
