I’m easily impressed by statistical outliers, and like to be prepared in case I run into some of them at ACC Kickoff, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday in Charlotte, N.C.
Last year, Clemson’s Christian Wilkins asked Dabo Swinney about moving to safety after I told him he was in the top 50 in the nation in passes broken up. (Wilkins is a defensive tackle.) Virginia’s Micah Kizer topped the ACC in tackles by 18 in 2016, despite playing three less games than Clemson’s Ben Boulware.
Things like this are fascinating, weird, and make for good conversation at Media Days.
