CB. Clemson. Mackensie Alexander. 12. player. 15.

The New Orleans has one of the worst pass defenses you’ll ever see and the 45 passing touchdowns they allowed were nine more than the second-worst in the NFL. Needless to say, the Saints need some help in the secondary and that’s where Clemson’s Mackensie Alexander comes into play.

He has the confidence and swagger great corners have and he isn’t afraid to get in your face or a microphone and tell you that. He came into his own in the 2014 season but really dominated in 2015 and was the definition of a shutdown corner. Teams rarely even looked his direction.

When you play in a division with Cam Newton, Matt Ryan and Jameis Winston making sure you can defend the pass is vital so look for them to address the secondary with Alexander.
