Dabo Swinney will tell anyone who will listen. Mackensie Alexander was one of the toughest defensive backs he has had at corner.
“He was just a dog. He was a very competitive guy,” Clemson’s head coach said. “That is how he survived with just good technique.”
Alexander was one of the best shut down corners the Tigers’ have had, and it is a reason why these days he plays for the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL.
Clemson’s A.J. Terrell has all of the same qualities as Alexander, but he has a little more, too. Terrell is also very tall, and he has the length to go with it.
