WR DUCE ROBINSON

Wide receiver Duce Robinson has been a mismatch nightmare for opposing defenses. The big-bodied playmaker has been very productive with the Seminoles. The 6'6" towering pass catcher has been a security blanket for quarterback Thomas Castellanos.

Obviously, Robinson is the leading wide receiver on the team, but he will be asked to generate offense for the Seminoles, as Clemson's secondary has been mediocre at best.

The former USC transfer has 34 receptions for 689 yards and four touchdowns on the season, so he is used to having big-time moments. He is fresh off a Wake Forest contest, where he had five catches for 148 yards and one touchdown.

While I am not suggesting that he will have that type of production, Robinson has to at least attract some sort of attention to the safeties to create mismatches for the other weapons.
