As much as I agree with CDS, I am happy we have Mack. He is a consistent blessing on the corner. Him and Cordrea have opened my eyes to the secondary. We haven't always been blessed with good corners. Granted with our DL and LBs doing so well in rushing the passer and stopping the run, it keeps those two clean and the safeties can roam free to help. But he has worked his tail off week in and week out. He rarely talks to the media, but when he does I listen because he reminds me a lot of Revis when he was at Pitt.

While I love his intensity, I thought for sure all that finger wagging in Fuller's face was going to draw a flag. But it is nice to have a defense with a football "bad attitude".

camera he does not look like a BA at all.
Two people you don't want to hear about much are corners and long snappers. It's rough when the other corner is Mack, that means the ball is coming your way!

Thought I'd chime in since your comments don't necessarily bring the truth
Mac is very very good and comes from a Fam that can certainly use the money. but this is a bad year to be a CB because there's so many guys declaring. Mac may be the 3rd best CB in the ACC and then you throw in guys like Hargreaves from FL who is an absolute beast and he slips farther down the list. If he declares for this next draft he will not be 1st round due to competition and fewer teams requiring corners
The difference in 1st and 2nd rnd money is serious and he would be wise to consider playing a third year at Clemson

Yeah, Mac is the man, but Hargreaves is probably #1***

I will lay 10 to 1 odds that Mac will be first round... if he waits till next year he will be top 10. Fuller, Hargreaves may get drafted before he does.. and whoever enters the draft from FSU. But Hargreaves and Mac will be starting in the NFL as rookies... there are teams that need them now and would sign them now if they could. Fuller and Hargreave gen more ints... but I know no one that can shut down a WR like Mac does. .... The one pass WIll Fuller caught against MAc was not enough to get a first down... Mac does not get a lot of stats like PBU or ints or tackles, but through 2 games 126 snaps... 8 targets 1 completion..... Against ND .... I saw 1 completion and he tackled Fuller. 4 games 2 completions... MAC is amazing... he is first round if he comes out this year... and I will be surprised if he is not one of top 15 picks...

Keep in mind he wants to finish is degree before leaving. I think I recall reading somewhere that he made a promise to his parents that he would do that, so while he could easily leave for the money, he values an education.

I'd put him higher than Miller. Miller was a game breaker returning the ball, but he wasn't as effective on coverage.

There's never been a better pure corner at Clemson...

Miller had return skills and all of that going for him, but if I need a guy to shut down one receiver for a game, I'm going with Alexander every single time.

Dabo and Co. need to get him one of those insurance policies and talk him into coming back next year.
I'm afraid we may lose Mack and Kearse after this season.

The real shame is that he got hurt his freshman year and we didn't get three years of the Mack Attack.

Give me 85 with that same mindset and I'll give you a national title. So long as he keeps shutting down EVERYONE, he can jaw all he wants as far as I'm concerned.

He went on about how much help Mac got and how he didn't shut Fuller down in both his post game interview and his Sunday press conference

Hate to say this.... But I wish the offense had a lot of that same fire the defense has.

#2 is the #2!!!!!!

I love watching him and the rest of the secondary, it is just like they are attached at the hip of the receivers they are covering. I have never worried about a receiver that anotger team has had when #2 is in the game. What a competitor & winner. Hope he sticks around another year, we could definitely use him. Go Tigers! ! ! !

He stated that in a couple of his interviews. He rather let his play talk for him.
