The reigning ACC Champs

1. A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson

Try six-foot-two, 190 pounds, and a potential 4.5-second 40-yards dash on for size. A.J. Terrell is a potential second-round or third-round selection who did well on the opposite side of Trayvon Mullen in 2018. As ‘the guy’ in 2019, there’s been little to no drop off. In the right situation, he could flourish.

2. Isaiah Simmons, outside linebacker

It would be nice if Philly could find some linebackers to create some depth and put an end to the revolving door that we’ve seen at the position seemingly for as long as most of us have been fans. Isaiah Simmons could provide that at six-foot-three and 230 pounds. If he has a decent NFL Combine, he could be a day-one draft prospect and a nice ‘Will’ linebacker at the next level.

3. Nyles Pinckney, defensive tackle

Nyles Pinckney satisfies Philly’s need for depth on the interior of the defensive line, but what people say about him is all over the place. To some, he’s a late-round pick. To others, he’s probably an undrafted free agent. He’s got a lot of work to do to move up draft boards.
