3. Amari Rodgers

Amari Rodgers is an absolute playmaker for the Clemson offense. He is not the biggest wide receivers in the country, but is sure one of the best in college football.

Rodgers was banged up earlier this year and was not himself. It should be pointed out that Rodgers also tore his ACL last year which could explain maybe why he did not look himself earlier in the year.

Lately, he has been showing why the Clemson fan base was so high on him all along. Rodgers had eight receptions for 121 yards, and a touchdown in Clemson’s last game against the Irish.

What really makes Rodgers dangerous is that you cannot double him because of the other talented offensive players on Clemson. If you double Rodgers that leaves Cornell Powell, E.J. Williams, or Braden Galloway with great matchups.

Amari Rodgers will probably be matched up against the talented defensive back in Shaun Wade most of the night, but that should not stop Rodgers from still making big plays for the Tigers.
