The Clemson Football defensive backs were up and down in 2022 and took some harsh criticism at times. There is a lot of enthusiasm for the group going into 2023. Pro Football Focus named four players to their preseason All-ACC team.
The Tigers are fortunate to have two super seniors returning in 2023, one each at cornerback and safety. All expected starters will have at least two full seasons on their resume, and multiple backup safeties have similar experience.
The depth is not as deep at corner, but the talent is there. Last year’s youth received on the job experience, and it will benefit them this season.
