Clemson. Mackensie Alexander. 25. player. 55. . CB

The offense in Pittsburgh was surprisingly effective despite all of the injuries they suffered in 2015.  The defense wasn’t so effective.

Moving forward, the Steelers are going to need to bolster their defense and find their identity once again.

Mackensie Alexander is the former Clemson cornerback who comes from one of the best teams in college football and is the self-proclaimed best cornerback in the draft.

Alexander may not end up being the best corner out of this class, but he’s a physical player with an attitude fitting of Steelers’ football.  Placing him in a secondary with William Gay should help improve the defense as a now healthy offensive unit looks to take the team back to the top of the AFC North.

Previously:  Mackensie Alexander – CB – Clemson
