8. Tony Grimes, CB, UNC: Grimes played the most over the final five games of the season, making as many plays on the ball as catches allowed (3) in that stretch. Not to mention, he was supposed to be a senior in high school. With him and Storm Duck, one of PFF’s top 10 returning cornerbacks, the Tar Heels have a special corner tandem in 2021.
