The Atlantic Coast Conference has produced two Heisman-winning quarterbacks (Jameis Winston and Lamar Jackson) and a grand total of 61 consensus All-Americans dating back to 2001.
Thus, in putting together this 26-man, all-21st century starting lineup, it was frequently a challenge to figure out which quality candidates were least exceptional.
Clemson leads the way on this ACC roster, but not by anywhere near the margin with which it has led this conference for the past decade. There are five Tigers, followed closely by four Florida State Seminoles. Thirteen different programs got at least one player on this roster.
